Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.93) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux 2.5/2.6 kernels distinguish between time spent in system/kernel code and io-wait time. vmstat and top display it seperately. Ksysguard does not offer an option to display it, even worse, it groups the IO-Wait time with the system load, which seems wrong to me, cause the time spent waiting for IO is more like idle time, as it could be used by other applications.
Created attachment 10547 [details] adds a cpu-wait-cycles sensor to ksysguard
Any chance that this patch gets included?
