System Profiler - CPU usage data not consistant  
The IDE 6.3.0 IDE provides a CPU usage view that breaks down the CPU usage for any process or interrupt. By clicking on 
the cross in front of the name gives more information about the threads. 

The problem:

In the attached snapshot, Interrupt 0xE shows a cpu usage of 10.807%, while the total CPU usage of the concerned 
processes is 7.045%. How should these values being interpreted? 

Thanks

Re: System Profiler - CPU usage data not consistant  
The 6.3.0 IDE CPU Usage calculations are not entirely accurate, and in some
cases
are totally broken

... however

The Interrupt time accounting is not included in the process runtime.  So
you should
interpret them as a sum ... unless the interrupt handling is being done by
an interrupt
thread, in which case the thread time is part of the process time.

In short, you have to have an idea of how the code is structured to make an
analysis.

Hope this helps,
 Thomas
