Package: procps Version: 1:2.0.6-6 The CPU state summary for top reports percentage use values which appear to be off by a factor of 100 on the first iteration of an iterative 'top' session, or if run in one iteration in batch mode. In the example below, the actaul values should be closer to 8% user, 12% system, and 80% nice.
