The cat /proc/loadavg did work, I was able to see the
load. I have run top as a normal user and root, both
have the same issue. The procps ver is the default
YD2.1 (2.0.7-3). I ran tops whil compiling a kernel,
playing an mp3 and a few other things and when I do
the -C option(which does give me the cpu stats) it just
says 0.0% across the board.

brings up the CPU stats line, but everything shows as
0.0% no mater what I am doing.
