CentOS - Jun 2005 - top not showing %CPU

I'm running with CentOS4 on a 2 cpu machine. I'm running a java process 
which creates a large number of threads as well as other native 
processes running under heavy load mixing 200+ audio streams. However, 
top shows none of these having any %CPU time. All of them read 0.0, 
except for top itself which occasionally shows up with 0.7, and 
migration/N with 0.3. All other processes read 0.0. The load average of 
the machine varies between 1.5 and 4.0.

Any suggestions on where to look for the problem would be appreciated,

Warren

What problem?  Your system should be spending most of its time
waiting for I/O to complete which doesn't show as CPU activity.
