Hello, I've been testing the times() function and I can't understand in what way is the ticking being incremented for system time measurement (tms_stime). I understand that tms_utime gives the ticking related to the process and what does tms_stime gives? E.g.: In 5 minutes the process gives 10000 ticks, so if the OS supports a maximum of 32758 process identifiers this gives us a 30% of load. Is my thinking right or am I missing something else?
