Schreenshot of top and esxtop with FreeBSD VM 10.3

Hello Experts,

VM: FreeBSD 11.0 Stable [Seen with FreeBSD 10.3 stable and lower version as
well]
Hypervisor : ESX 6.0  (ESXi-6.0.0-20171104001-standard (Build 6921384))

5 vCPUs are allocated for the VM, 10 GB RAM and 20 GB disk. vCPU pinning is
done for the VM.

Test Case: A shell script with the following commands:
dd if=</a_2gb_file> of=<an output file> &
dd if=</a_2gb_file> of=<an output file> &
dd if=</a_2gb_file> of=<an output file> &
dd if=</a_2gb_file> of=<an output file> &
dd if=</a_2gb_file> of=<an output file> &

The top command output and esxtop command output is attached for FreeBSD VM:

If we compare the vCPU IDLE times, there is a difference of around 60%.

We would like understand why it is happening and fix it as needed.

Few additional notes:
- This issue is seen with XenServer 7.1. So issue is hypervisor agnostic.
- Another data point, we do not observe similar issue with a Ubuntu VM on the
same ESX hypervisor.


Let us know.

Regards,
Nirmal
