I'm confused - and I'll admit that it's been a while since I've been a
sys ad.  Httpd runs in user space, right?  So why am I not seeing system
processes at the top of top?  Or am I reading this incorrectly?  What
more can I be looking at to see what in system space is eating the
system?  

Thanks in advance
