No, it's a bug:

This system is running 4 bzip2s on 4 300MB files
simultaneously. The
numbers shown by top don't add up to anything remotely
usable - take a
look at the load.

And yes, the bug has been filed at redhat:

<http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D109484>

Thanks Ralph. I know it isn't a lack of work, as the
other poster seems to think.
The bug number you posted shows as invalid. Can you
repost?
Thanks,
