I'm wondering....
cpuinfo shows the cpu's labeled 0,1,3,4
top labels them 0,1,2,3
could this maybe be why cpu #2 shows nothing, because it doesn't exist? Cpu 2 never
changes, but the others do to some degree.
How can I max out the processors to test? To do this output I compiled a kernel with
make zImage MAKE="make -j4"
thanks,
zeit

that's _not_ what top is showing. unless you have four tasks of equal
priority, all runnable at once, you shouldnt' expect to see all four
processors busy at once. the mere fact that all four show up in cpuinfo
means that they're all perfectly live. as an added bonus, they're all
the same stepping, and reflect the same bogomips.

you're using about half the machine. find more work! ;)
