Just getting started with the Unix Mojo and ran into something that
makes no sense to me. Ran "top" to see what was going on and found
that top itself uses about 10% of available CPU cycles even when
nothing else is been done.
The reason for this is that top gathers extensive VM statistics with the
default options, which are fairly expensive to compute. The '-d' option
turns that off.
Also "Terminal" is using another ~4%.
Probably because of top...
On top of that I see OmniWeb and iTunes using cycles, although both
are not doing anything other than being open apps in the dock.
OmniWeb's usage really jumps around, sometimes going as high as 40%.
For OmniWeb, this probably means that some activity has not completed.
This seems to happen from time to time. Don't know about iTunes, might
be polling for events.
