Hello,
I am looking at a statspack output and what I see is
....
Elapsed: 291.62 (mins)
....
Top 5 Timed Events

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ % Total

Event Waits Time (s) Ela Time

-------------------------------------------- ------------ ----------- --------

CPU time 439,177 86.13
.....
The machine has 8 CPUs .
a time of 439177 sec is around 7319 min.
On the other hand, the total maximum CPU processing time is 291.62*8 CPUs= 2332.96 min.
1)Can someone clarify that?
Appears that CPU Time reffers not to the CPU processing time, but to the time session waits for CPU.
2) If so, with these figures can we conclude that the machine is highly overloaded in terms of CPU?
3) Any idea what could cause the CPU overloading


Thanks
