Live screenshot of the ksysguard fail.

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When I fire up ksysguard and choose the "process tree" view, I can see the CPU usage percentage for the init process is a normal one, usually not more than 30%-40%, but if I leave ksysguard open, it easily goes up to several thousands of percentage. I'm attaching a screenshot that shows this behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open ksysguard, select process tree view, order by CPU usage, leave it open for a couple of minutes.

Actual Results:  
Thousands of CPU usage percentage reported. Attached screenshot shows more than 10000%.

Expected Results:  
Actual CPU usage is shown.

From a quick look, it seems like at each step the new CPU usage percentage is added to the old one, instead of simply replacing it.

I too am having this issue. I'm on Kubuntu 11.04 using 4.8 RC2 from one of the PPA's. I have to agree, it does appear to be adding up the CPU usage rather than replacing. Could someone mark this as confirmed?
