This is what I get from: systat if 1

                    /0   /1   /2   /3   /4   /5   /6   /7   /8   /9   /10
     Load Average   |
                    /0   /10  /20  /30  /40  /50  /60  /70  /80  /90  /100
             <idle> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
root     idle: cpu0 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
root     idle: cpu1 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This is on 5.0. This seems to be the same as running systat by itself.
