I am now given to understand that the percentages are of processes 
(number of little programs?), rather than time.

I wonder what is the distinction between idle and waiting? Idle is not 
waiting for I/O, like a timer?

     CPU stats: cpu usage by a user (usr) processes, system (sys) 
processes, as well as the number of idle (idl) and waiting (wai) processes,}
