Problem of comparing low number? Top's "getty 1.5% of the CPU" is not "getty eat 1.5% of the ALL CPU power", this is "getty 1.5% of off all other curerent eats of CPU power". T.e. if all system eat 985 ticks of CPU each second and getty eat 15 ticks of CPU each second -- top show 1.5% for getty. Load is raised to 99_985 ticks for system, getty eat 15 ticks -- top show 0% ( 15/(99985+15) = .015% ).Received on Wed Apr 07 2021 - 11:08:45 UTC
