I've been using BBWin08.msi for a while, and would like to see 
CPU usage reported in percentage, like on Unix's, instead of load numbers.

Does 0.9 allow that?  Or would I have to customize the source code and
compile it myself?
   
  Thanks,
Ye-Fee

It's not possible. You will have to customize the source code of the
CPU agent. (Source code available on sourceforge.net).
I didn't implement this possibility because I had no idea how to
generate the values. Load includes more statistics than cpu usage so I
don't know which formula to use on Windows.

If somebody has some ideas to calculate the load on Windows servers,
it would be interesting so I can try to implement it after.

For the moment, CPU usage uses '% processor time'  performance counter
from process performance objects.

OK, I thought it did that, but that it just came out in the load average 
graph due to historical reasons.  I do the same thing with the CPU 
Utilization data from the mainframe operating systems.

Is this what you're referring to Ye Fee?
