Top now, by default, summarizes CPU usage.  Simply fire up top and press
the '1' (one) key to get a per-CPU listing.  Press the "h" key for
help.  Once you've got it formatted the way you want, press SHIFT-W and
the system will write a ~user/.toprc file for you so it comes up the
way you want it next time.
