System: NetBSD fish-dances.eterna.com.au 1.6E NetBSD 1.6E (_fish_) #113: Wed Jul 31 02:20:21 EST 2002 mrg@fish-dances.eterna.com.au:/var/_fish_ i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386

>Description:

	when running 'xmms' from pkgsrc, %CPU observed from ps or top or
	systat ps is almost certainly wrong.  at first, it appears to use
	CPU, but the %CPU drops rapdily to 0.0% or occasionally 0.5% on my
	system (celeron 400mhz laptop.)  observing the accumulated time for
	the process shows that it is really using about 12% of my CPU.  ie
	after playing for 8 hours, it has accumulated about an hour of CPU.

>How-To-Repeat:

	install xmms on -current and attempt to see how much cpu it takes
	compared to a cheaper (non graphical) mp3 player.

	"pkg_info xmms" gives:
