I've read `man top`, but it only loosly mentions, what for me is, the third line of top: Cpu(s). The first four are the percentage of processor time used for user processes (us), system (sy), nice (ni) and idle (id). But what do wa, hi, si and st mean?
I'm sorry if this is easy to find, it's probably in plain sight somewhere, but I can't see it :)
