Hi there, need help with decoding of Spy command. I have a system, where I have been trying to characterize some data, and whatever combinations that I try out, the spy output always shows tIdle is always lesser number.
When I look at my other application task usage, most of the tasks are not using more than 5% of them, but am still seeing tIdle as less than 5
I have couple of questions here.
Why is the TOTAL always around 87% (I have never seen it around 100% or closer to it.
I would have ideally liked my application to be around 20-25% of tIdle time. With the stats below, is my system in a bad-shape ?
Can i assume that if the tSpyTask is not running, I have more CPU time under tIdle ?
Please help me decode this and advise.
Typical output is
