Hi,
Ok, seems to be a HTT issue on a untuned system.
On two boxes I get with 'sysctl -a | grep smp | grep kern.smp.cpus'
kern.smp.cpus: 4
Here I see CPU-IDs 0 and 2 in top. No other CPUs seem to be
used. Here I get the broken CPU usage.
And yes, seeting hyperthreading_allowed=1 corrects the top usage.
On two other boxes where it works I get 'sysctl -a | grep smp | grep
kern.smp.cpus' kern.smp.cpus: 2
Here I see CPU-ID's 0 and 1 in top. Here everything works as it should.
