4.2 scheduler (and CPU utilization)

[Spencer W. Thomas]

I think it's also a question of what the kernel is doing.  For example,
on the Mac, if you consider everything in the ROM "the kernel", the
"system" spends most of its time in the kernel for an average
application.  But this is just because it provides so much functionality
that you don't have to supply for yourself.
