: 
: If xmms is threaded, you probably got bit by the "libpthread doesn't do
: process CPU accounting" bug.  Most threaded processes will just show up
: as 0 %CPU in top, no matter what they're doing.  The rusage stats are
: handled correctly, though, so look for processes whose TIME value is
: increasing at one (or more if you're SMP) seconds per second.
