I find it gives a lot of extra information about processes Hum, compared to a normal 'desktop' box, it list one process as being in #tslpu state, i.e. sleep ininteruptible, and I wonder if that's what is accounted for it. There is basically only 2 processes active in the system: atop and ksoftirqd/0 which is basically the kernel interrupt handler (well there is also ssh but it usually doesn't even shows up). The process in D state is apparently a kernel usb thread root 18 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D Jan16 0:00 [usb-hardware-sc] it is present in that state on both boxes (no USB device connected, but if I plug mouse or keyboard they work just fine).
