[And kernel has its own idle time reporting, it is really neccessary
to use that.]
Just to show how broken top is, try following program: Top reports 95%
idle time, while cpu is completely loaded in fact. Fix top.
void
main( void )
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<10000; i++)
system( "echo line >> /tmp/delme" );
}
