 Hello,
 
 Can anyone explain where the CPU usage values in top come from? When
 my computer is busy, the CPU states row in the header shows
 reasonably high load, but the sum of the cpu column never adds up to
 as much.
 
 Thanks,

Hi,

Interesting reading.

BTW, with hyperthreading (or SMP) boxes the top command shows
another column that is not documented in the man page.
What does it mean the C column?   I guess it´s the cpu actually
running the job, but why I can see something like this:

STATE   C
CPU01
CPU10

CPU usage shown by top

Hello,

Can anyone explain where the CPU usage values in top come from? When
my computer is busy, the CPU states row in the header shows
reasonably high load, but the sum of the cpu column never adds up to
as much.

Thanks,
