Hello,

I have a machine that has output from top that looks like:

119 processes: 87 sleeping, 16 running, 6 zombie, 10 stopped
CPU states: 123.9% user, 73.4% system,  0.0% nice, 425146.8% idle
Mem:  516928K av, 512692K used,   4236K free, 161708K shrd,  10564K buff
Swap: 2096440K av, 166200K used, 1930240K free                158388K
cached

Notice the idle amount.  That seems a little high to me :)

The machine is very busy all the time.  It has a load average of 15-20
all the time.

Does anyone know what causes the idle field to go crazy? Or how I could
fix it?

I searched the archive, but I didnt find anything like this.

Michael
