Hi!

[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" ); }
