Public bug reported:
Affects: 2:3.3.12-3ubuntu1.2 (bionic) & 2:3.3.10-4ubuntu2.4 (xenial)
If I run 'top -b -n 1' the CPU percentages are the same every single
time. If I run with more iterations the CPU percentages of subsequent
iterations update in real time. If I run top interactively then the CPU
percentages correctly update in real time. Here's an example.
1) With n=1 the same CPU percentages are always displayed.
while true ; do top -b -n 1 | grep -E "^%Cpu" ; sleep 10; done
%Cpu(s): 46.1 us, 4.1 sy, 0.2 ni, 48.1 id, 0.2 wa, 0.0 hi, 1.2 si, 0.0 st

the first is still clearly wrong.
