I'm not sure that the information provided by top is
a "snapshot". ISTR (though a quick look at a man on it didn't
show this) that it reads information sequentially, and is not
guaranteed to add up to anything. It may be that the system
overall is 95% idle, but that when top looked, mprime was
active, and used 100% of one and 75% of the other proc.

Probably.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
