    top: provide more accurate cpu usage stats for startup · 56d79b9d
    jim warner authored
    The top program already incorporated a modest delay at
    startup so that some minimal process cpu history could
    be established. However, Summary Area system level cpu
    statistic history reflected usage since boot. As such,
    unchanging % values would be shown with every restart.
    
    This commit just adopts the same approach used in task
    %CPU history for the Summary Area statistics. In other
    words, it introduces a 'priming read' at startup as is
    found in the newlib implementation for the <stat> API.
