Notice windows manager in top in this picture:
http://home.no/verybadmojo/miscpix/w...gerhighcpu.jpg
It's very high right?
Here is what I did:
Started top in terminal. Minimized the window into dock. Held down shift key and let the terminal window float (lamped) slowly back in position. For a second windows manager jumps higher than 100% (sounds strange, but it does). Happens every time. Ones it jumped up to about 140+ percent.
My hardware, iBook g3 600, ATI Rage.. Os ten, ten point two point five.
Does someone have an explanation? 
Now, flame me for taking up your time with this useless post..

No explanation, but you're doing something that's pretty processor intensive... so it makes sense.

Well, ok, but I thought only multi processor machines could excess 100% in top.. Or..?

I don't know. If you had a dual processor machine that would certainly be possible, as percentages are usually of one processor.
But with an iBook, I'd consider that a bug.
*shrug*
I don't think it's super problematic though, just kinda wacky.

I think that sometimes immediate estimates of processor usage can result in slightly inaccurate values - I'm not positive, but that seems like the only explanation. This would be no big deal in my opinion.

I can live with that explanation.
It's not a big deal. I just thought it was odd.
Well, happy eastern everyone.
