I know, but I've been running top for about 15 minutes now, and it consistently shows 0.0%. I can also assume that top has gotten in sync with somehow, but then again I have more than 1 runnable process on average over the last 15 minutes, so I would suspect that some other process should also get some CPU. And of course I also ran top on other terminals -- could they all be in sync at the same time or something? --Stijn -- "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc., 1989
