Here is what I'm seeing now:

Load average and %CPU user are right, as are other global statistics. 
The load is produced by the "7z" process (archivers/p7zip) which 
compresses some data in two threads but is credited with 0% CPU, though 
its runtime is correct (increments every second as it should in a 
CPU-bound process). It doesn't help if I expand / show individual threads.
