Description of the problem: torsmo shows a cpu usage to
big, i.e. factor 10 of the "real" cpu usage. I have
atached two screenshots, one showing the CPU usage of
tormso and the other of gkrellm, both done on the same
time.

(default is BAT0).

# downspeedf net Download speed in
kilobytes with one
# decimal
# exec shell command Executes a shell
command and displays
# the output in
torsmo. warning: this
# takes a lot more
resources than other

recommend coding wanted

with specific interval.
# command Interval can't be
less than
# update_interval in

# i2c (dev), type, n I2C sensor from
sysfs (Linux 2.6). dev
# may be omitted if
you have only one I2C
# device. type is
either in (or vol)

fan meaning fan or temp
# meaning
temperature. n is number of the
# sensor. See
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/ on
# your local
computer.

# loadavg (1), (2), (3) System load
average, 1 is for past 1

If there may be more infos for a bugreport i will ask
sorry, it was my first bugreport.

Additional Information:
On the same macine, with kernel 2.6.7 works fine, in
contradiction of the situation with the kernel 2.4.21 form
suse linux.
