All the multiplication is just getting the values to be using consistent factors, for example cpuTime is in 10^-9 seconds it seems. > pcentHostCpu = pcentbase / hostcpus > pcentGuestCpu = pcentbase / guestcpus > These factor in host and guest cpu counts. - Cole > pcentHostCpu = max(0.0, min(100.0, pcentHostCpu)) > pcentGuestCpu = max(0.0, min(100.0, pcentGuestCpu)) > > return cpuTime, cpuTimeAbs, pcentHostCpu, pcentGuestCpu
