Hi,

=09Interesting reading.

=09BTW, with hyperthreading (or SMP) boxes the "top" command shows
another column that is not documented in the man page.
=09What does it mean the "C" column?   I guess it=B4s the cpu actually
running the job, but why I can see something like this:

STATE   C
CPU0=091
CPU1=090
