When all 3 seti's get their "normal" 95% cpu time:

32531 setiathome 139   15 16536K 15520K *Giant 1  60.9H 95.85% 95.85% setiathome
32533 setiathome 139   15 16856K 16032K CPU3   3  61.0H 95.65% 95.65% setiathome
32532 setiathome 139   15 15524K 14912K CPU2   2  60.8H 95.51% 95.51% setiathome
54738 andyf      132    0  3084K  2140K *Giant 0  64:54 83.84% 83.84% ssh
   12 root       -16    0     0K    12K RUN    2 133.4H  3.81%  3.81% idle: cpu2
   13 root       -16    0     0K    12K RUN    1 131.7H  3.47%  3.47% idle: cpu1
   14 root       -16    0     0K    12K CPU0   0 130.8H  3.37%  3.37% idle: cpu0

As opposed to "abnormal" when cpu_idle_hlt=1:

32533 setiathome 139   15 15828K 15000K CPU1   2  61.0H 89.40% 89.40% setiathome
32532 setiathome 139   15 16552K 15660K *Giant 2  60.8H 88.18% 88.18% setiathome
54738 andyf      130    0  3084K  2140K select 2  68:54 75.78% 75.78% ssh
   13 root       -16    0     0K    12K RUN    1 131.7H 29.05% 29.05% idle: cpu1
   12 root       -16    0     0K    12K CPU2   2 133.4H 28.08% 28.08% idle: cpu2
   11 root       -16    0     0K    12K CPU3   3 135.2H 27.83% 27.83% idle: cpu3
   14 root       -16    0     0K    12K RUN    0 130.8H 26.37% 26.37% idle: cpu0
32531 setiathome 131   15 15640K 14976K *Giant 2  61.0H 20.51% 20.51% setiathome
