Hi,<br />
<br />
To make sure, here are some tools which measures CPU utilization (as this concerns CPU usage)<br />
The sar command<br />
use &quot;sar -u 3 10&quot; (10 entries are displayed every 3 seconds)<br />
Check the %iowait and %idle values<br />
<br />
Run the top command <br />
ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -r -k1 | less<br />
<br />
You can get a top down view of the process with the highest CPU munchers.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I get the following from dstat<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27646403-1">----total-cpu-usage---- -net/total- sda-
usr sys idl wai hiq siq| recv  send|util

 33  22  24   0   0  21| 462M  478M|   0</code></pre>
<br />
Since the utilization is 76, and the user and sys equal 66, that seems to be a disparity<br />
<br />
Can I assume that <br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27646403-2">100 - idle = user + sys + siq</code></pre>
<br />
Or is that not correct ?
