As another poster has said, the problem with running buildworld is
that processes get created and finish so quickly, that you rarely get
to see the process that's hogging the processor. If you hit the
<space> bar heaps of times, you may see the "cc/as/cc1" processes hit
the chart. The best is to run the buildworld on a *slow* box (eg a
486) and you will see all the CPU hoggers hit the top(1) charts as it
struggles through the build.
Cheers.
