CPU usage in top monitor

I have a V880 machine with 6 CPU a 1200 Mhz.

I'm running command: top -b -ocpu -s5 d5 5

%idle is going down from 95 to 70/50/30%

but I cannot see the processes which are consuming CPU !!!

What should I do to get my CPU-consumers ?

Can a get a summary of %user,%kernel for each top-5-process ?

load averages: 1.61, 1.49, 1.2312:11:14

351 processes: 348 sleeping, 3 on cpu

CPU states: 44.3% idle, 14.2% user, 18.7% kernel, 22.7% iowait, 0.0% swap

Memory: 12G real, 185M free, 13G swap in use, 30G swap free

Well, 22% of the "missing" time is io wait. which is really a kind of idle time, just time spent waiting for IO to complete.

I don't believe that IO wait time is reflected in the per process stats. So its hard to tell which process is waiting. Probably the cp at a guess..

I think kernel time is supposed to be reflected in the per process stats. But these things are only rough snapshots. So theres a fair bit of fuzz.
