Hi,
I have noticed that top reports strange values for CPU utilization. The
problem is that while it reports this for overall utilization...
CPU states: 40.8% user, 0.0% nice, 3.7% system, 4.5% interrupt, 50.9%
idle
...it doesn't show a single process that would have over 1% of WCPU or
CPU!

I am quite positive it is the vlc process that eats most of the reported
40%
of CPU because if I turn it off the user time goes down bellow 10%. But
despite that top shows zero in its row.
The box is uniprocessor x86 FreeBSD 6.1.
I see the same and it is always with threaded applications (libpthread).
If you use libthr (see libmap.conf) it shows a lot better.
