You are actually seeing > 0.00% CPU/WCPU, cause with me everything is zero,
allthough I know for sure that's not true.
A good ref is audio/ices. This takes roughly 30% CPU all the time on 4.9. Just
installed it on this box and load is the same (never below 40%), it has prio
132, TIME shows more or less the time it's running - but no WCPU/CPU values,
even in RUN state (it's mostly in select).
The system shows:
last pid: 30823; load averages: 1.14, 0.74, 0.64 up 0+11:47:01
00:06:45
82 processes: 3 running, 78 sleeping, 1 zombie
CPU states: 34.7% user, 0.0% nice, 9.3% system, 0.8% interrupt, 55.2% idle
Mem: 295M Active, 91M Inact, 91M Wired, 15M Cache, 60M Buf, 2336K Free
Swap: 1024M Total, 13M Used, 1011M Free, 1% Inuse
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND
30487 mdev 132 0 11984K 9208K RUN 12:52 0.00% 0.00% ices
