Top reports ~70% idle, while at the same time the topmost couple of |
| 18 |
processes are reported as using >70%CPU. Is there anything I could use |
| 19 |
that reports more sensible values ? |

|
| 21 |
I'm running the machine for multi-media-use, and I would like to make |
| 22 |
sure that I tune the media-programs to leave sufficcient cpu to handle |
| 23 |
the odd house-keeping task, while at the same time doing as much |
| 24 |
post-processing for image and sound quality as possible. Is there a way |
| 25 |
to get top to make sense, or are there other tools you good people would |
| 26 |
recommend ? |
