Well, as noted in another note a little prior to this one, the -CURRENT
behavior I'm seeing isn't all *that* different from the -STABLE behavior
-- in each case, the sum of what "top" reports for CPU % is normally small.

Well, that gets into a matter of perspective, since the amount of CPU
resource required to do the screen updates (vs. what is available) could
well be 0.00 (to 2 decimals).... :-) (Kinda like the ratio of a
circle's circumference to its diameter is "3" to a single significant
figure.)
(I was in X at the time, too.)
