WCPU is supposed to be weighted in some way to take swap time in to 
account.  It's possible that the weighting calculation is adding a bit to a 
nearly 100% value.  Try displaying just %CPU (the 'C' command I think?) and 
see if it is reporting over 100% for a normal (non-weighted) cpu percent. 
It shouldn't.  If it is, then there's something weird about the way the 
value is being tracked by the kernel.
