Please turn off word wrapping on your mail program when
you send such output. Or send as attachment. Well, normal
number of interrupts, a lot of time in kernel, quite a few context
switches

send as attachment  "top -n -S -I -d 10" please
There is also a -m in 6.x, don't know about 5.3-R, but it would be
interesting if it exists

from top manual:
       -mdisplay
              Display either cpu or io statistics.  Default is cpu.
