Just ran top on a RHEL 3 system, with celeron 2.4. It used 0.1% CPU.

Ummm, that's pretty much the case no matter what.
"top" is just an evil program.
The problem is that top causes a lot of transitions between user and
kernel space. Repeatedly. This is defined by the ability to context
switch rather than CPU speed.
It used to be that 10 users running top could bring a Linux system to
a screeching halt.
Sorry I can't help with the rest, though.
