Hi, I have noticed that top reports strange values for CPU utilization. The problem is that while it reports this for overall utilization...
CPU states: 40.8% user, 0.0% nice, 3.7% system, 4.5% interrupt, 50.9% idle ...it doesn't show a single process that would have over 1% of WCPU or CPU! PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND 17980 xxxxx 1 96 0 5568K 3536K *Giant 213:05 0.00% silc 88370 xxxxxxxxx 1 96 0 5584K 3592K RUN 211:07 0.00% silc 93031 xxxxxx 5 20 0 58288K 40712K kserel 164:25 0.00% vlc 20223 xxx 5 20 0 238M 29572K kserel 36:04 0.00% java 17539 xxxxx 1 96 0 10692K 6032K select 26:51 0.00% centericq 30491 xxxxxx 1 96 0 7076K 4708K select 26:48 0.00% ventrilo_srv I am quite positive it is the vlc process that eats most of the reported 40% of CPU because if I turn it off the user time goes down bellow 10%. But despite that top shows zero in its row. The box is uniprocessor x86 FreeBSD 6.1. -- VH
