? Letters which toggle on/off statistics: ?

? ReOrder by: 3=CPU 4=RAM 5=I/O | Hit u twice to update ?
? g = User Defined Disk Groups | G = with -g switches Disk graphs ?
? [start nmon with -g <filename>] | to disk groups only ?

? Warning: Some Statistics may not shown ?
- Press "k" to show the kernel statistics, here idle% value is 1597.6%
whereas normally percentage value is always less than or equal to 100. I
guess "15" is prefixed to all values before "idle" parameter.
