Header cpu %'s don't match reality or per-process usage

[Daniel D.]

The header of top (i.e the part that looks as below) is frequently reporting unlikely result. With high load it is reporting mostly idle, even though the per-process cpu usage is reporting multiple processes with 100% and one with 200% cpu usage on a multicore machine.

The numbers don't make sense and don't match the kind of numbers reported in trusty.

There is clearly some funkiness in what the header is reporting.

Not an issue in 18.10 which I now use.
