top(1) behavior

[Kevin Bowling <kevin.bowling%kev009.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I am somewhat new to NetBSD and am curious about the behavior of top(1).

When running something heavy yet ephemeral like a parallel make, I can
see expected CPU usage in the summary or per-cpu view.  However, I
rarely see the process(es) consuming the CPU momentarily during the
update intervals reflected accordingly in the per process view below.
I find the behavior somewhat surprising compared to FreeBSD top(1) and
am wondering what the difference is.

Regards,
Kevin
