'top -I' in 5.4 stays empty most of the time with processes flashing in and out from time to time. In 4.9 the processes stayed there until they are done. Load average on another hand does not seem to correspond to the CPU load seen in 'top' (as 'top -I' is kind of useless at the moment) - i.e. load average can be 1 and in the same time the sum of the CPU usage in 'top' is around 50%. Can anyone suggest why these behave that way? Iv
