Interesting

>From my machine:

  PID USERNAME  THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU COMMAND
  11 root        1 171   52     0K    16K RUN     29.9H 99.02% idle
  38 root        1  20    0     0K    16K syncer   2:01  0.00% syncer

  13 root        1 -32 -151     0K    16K WAIT     1:10  0.00% swi4: clock sio
			   
This leads me to think I have not gotten SMP working corectly on this machine. Is this a
correct assumption?

Also, I must admit to some amazement as to how diferntly top presents similar data on
differeing OS'es.
