If using top, it varies depending on whether you have it show you all the CPUs 
available, or take the summary.  If it is showing the summary line, it shows 
the average of the various CPUs.  If it is showing the individual CPUs, then it 
lists how busy each one is.  Some distributions also have the "total/average" 
of the individual CPUs listed as a separate line on the display.
