Can you use top to determine which process is requesting most of the CPU?

Actually, when I press shift + P in top, top is the most used process for a while - around 1%, then it drops to ~ 0.0-0.3% and stays like that; other processes (like sshd, smbd) don't take more than ~0.5% really few times a minute.

Same goes with memory usage.

vmstat output:

procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu----
