6:58pm  up 1 day,  9:37,  1 user,  load average: 1.77, 1.60,
1.00
38 processes: 34 sleeping, 4 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  8.6% user, 60.2% system,  0.0% nice, 31.3% idle

The only active process on my system is "tar".  Is it normal to
see system CPU usage at 60% when untarring things, or is this odd
behaviour?

The system this is occuring on is a cobalt RAQ2 system running
Linux 2.0.34 modified.

Just curious...
