Weird behavior under FreeBSD

Hello.

FYI under normal conditions top looks like:

last pid:  2033;  load averages:  0.00,  0.00,  0.00                                                                                                                up 0+02:39:36  12:23:06
27 processes:  1 running, 26 sleeping
CPU:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.1% system,  0.1% interrupt, 99.8% idle
Mem: 169M Active, 30M Inact, 310M Wired, 24K Cache, 149M Buf, 3443M Free
Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free

This computer has one quad-core CPU, to 25% systems meens 100% on 1 core IMHO.
