Onperf can show you if you do not have any system level utilities to monitor individual CPUs. I have gotten away from it because it can only display 10 metrics at a time and I have 24->32 CPUs to track but it works fine. Art S. Kagel

If you have either "glance" or "glance+", they perform similar tasks as top. You might want to check with you system admin to see what s/he uses.
