Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hardware-monitor
After booting my machine, updatedb is usually started by anacron and the
hardware-monitor shows 100% cpu load for some time. Inexperienced users
who don't know what updatedb is may be surprised and concerned why their
CPUs stay at 100% load minutes after booting has completed.
Therefore, my suggestion is that hardware-monitor should also substract
iowait from the total cpu load because of iowait not being actual cpu
load. The cpu can yield cycles to other processes while waiting for the
IO to complete.
The cpu-monitor in the hardware-monitor applet currently computes the
cpu load by substracting "nice" and "idle" loads from "total" cpu load
reported by libgtop.
** Affects: hardware-monitor (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
