Lol. Well, I will just have to fix this on my own then. Imagine if you  
have a nanosecond cpu burst, and calculating load on a 10ms smoothed  
version of that. I really thought that would be easy to understand. I am  
very suprised to find it there, and very surprised at your attitude. If  
you had something actual to say about this, you would have done it in the  
first post. "A lot of groups" means nothing.

Peace Be With You.
