I only use vmstat in scripts so I did not notice until recently. I see an Open PR ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/30360 ) but I am not sure this is the same problem as I see a problem on both single and multiple CPU's. Before I go chasing a ghost, does any one else see a difference between CPU usage reported by 'top' and that reported by 'vmstat'. If so is it possible that this is not a bug but a difference in expected behavior of vmstat? Or is it possible vmstat is broke? 'top' appears to report usage figures I would expect. Thanks for any help.
