It looks like top on your machine is sorting by Memory Usage and not CPU usage so use "top -i" to run it in interactive mode then type "o" while it is running to change the order in which it displays usage. It will give you a prompt "Order to sort:" simply type "cpu" and this should sort it properly for you Ken -- Occasional Helper Monkey Proud Debian Admin and FreeBSD user.
