I have an Ultra 5, with a 270MHz processor. Does this look right (during a
buildworld)?

last pid: 14178;  load averages:  1.96,  1.82,  1.82    up 0+01:37:27  14:28:22
35 processes:  2 running, 33 sleeping
CPU states: 22.0% user,  0.0% nice, 55.1% system,  0.9% interrupt, 22.0% idle
Mem: 10M Active, 20M Wired, 1856K Cache, 9120K Buf, 1728K Free
Swap: 146M Total, 16M Used, 130M Free, 11% Inuse, 280K In

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
  419 root     108    0  6848K   720K RUN     29:28 27.34% 27.34% top
14177 root     113    0  7824K  5952K RUN      0:01 49.20%  4.69% cc1
14178 root      -8    0  1424K   768K piperd   0:00  1.03%  0.10% as

Note the massively high 'system' load, and the fact top uses around 25-30%
of the CPU power. I am running a GENERIC kerenl built 12th Dec, but have
always seen high 'system' percentages.
