CPU usage shown by top

[scuba at centroin.com.br]

Hi,

	Interesting reading.

	BTW, with hyperthreading (or SMP) boxes the "top" command shows
another column that is not documented in the man page.
	What does it mean the "C" column?   I guess it´s the cpu actually
running the job, but why I can see something like this:

STATE   C
CPU0	1
CPU1	0
