If what you are saying is true, then explain how I can get this output
from top on my mythbox, which is built around a single 2.4GHz
hyperthreaded pentium 4:
top - 21:09:09 up 1 day, 11:53, 6 users, load average: 1.05, 0.35, 0.17
Tasks: 99 total, 4 running, 95 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu0 : 99.7% us, 0.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
Cpu1 : 100.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
Mem: 507992k total, 263652k used, 244340k free, 8596k buffers
Swap: 1461872k total, 4148k used, 1457724k free, 108148k cached
