Top Summary Area

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows what the last two columns in the top read out mean?

Cpu(s): 10.8% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 89.2% hi, 0.0% si

Thanks!

I'm probably a little short sighted, but even using the search function on the man page info I'm unable to find what 'us', 'sy', 'ni' etc. mean. would you mind quoting the specific lines that explain this.
