Right. But those are *average* values. I'd like to be able to read real-time CPU load info. For instance, if I run a CPU-intensive process, the value in /proc/loadavg will change very slowly. I need to be able to read that CPU is 100% busy at least one second after this happens. -- Arcady Genkin Don't read everything you believe.
