Hi,

I am doing some performance monitoring (perfmon) on some Win2K Server boxes and I noticed when looking at "% Processor Time" for some individual processes, they show a higher CPU utilization than the "% Processor Time - _Total" metric. This just doesn't make sense to me. In a multiprocessor system, does perfmon only look at one CPU when calculating the % processor time of a given process?
