Thanks for the suggestion.

But this may actually be on purpose.  I/O Wait means that the processor
is not doing anything, because it is waiting for some I/O to finish.
The CPU *could* be doing work, but it isn't.  So, from the processor's
viewpoint (which is what the applet is showing), it is idle.
