Hey gang - here is a (hopefully) easy question.

At my server's console I run xload and the CDE system Information that
supposedly shows the CPU utilization, memory usage etc.

I've never cared for that tool very much - so I also installed top to check
this - and I get wildly different results compared to the CDE tools. As I
write this Top shows CPU utilization at 33% - while the CDE is pegged at
100%.

Any ideas as to why this major disparity exists? I'm more familiar with top
- so I tend to give it's results more credence, but I'm just not sure.
