When I run TOP it only displays individual process cpu utilization. And
the TOP.TXT file says:

TOP is NOT a load monitor - the statistics displayed are
not real time, they are the statistics for the previous
monitoring period (default 2 seconds).
The load is calculated by comparing the amount of CPU
that a process has used in the current monitoring period,
to the amount the same process used in the last monitoring
period.

Good idea to ask Paul -- if TOP can't do it he may know of a program
which can.
