PowerTOP 1.97: Percentages greater than 100 % for CPUs

[Paul Menzel]

Dear PowerTOP folks,


using PowerTOP version 1.97 I sometimes see the following (surprising)
numbers.

Package | CPU 0
Idle 87,3% | Idle 1813,0%
800 Mhz 9,6% | 800 Mhz 120,3%
2,31 Ghz 2,3% | 2,31 Ghz 30,3%
1500 Mhz 0,1% | 1500 Mhz 1,9%
1100 Mhz 0,6% | 1100 Mhz 6,0%
2,10 Ghz 0,1% | 2,10 Ghz 1,1%

| CPU 1
| Idle 1843,3%
| 2,31 Ghz 28,8%
| 800 Mhz 90,5%
| 1500 Mhz 1,2%
| 1100 Mhz 7,9%
| 2,10 Ghz 0,9%

The percentages for the CPU column look strange to me. What am I
missing?

Or is that a (known) bug?


Thanks,

Paul
