2) The user could force a refresh using either the

cycle distortion of cpu percentages. Such distortion is
most visible when each cpu is being displayed. It can

(Since Linux 2.6.16.) SCHED_BATCH can only be used at static
priority 0. This policy is similar to SCHED_OTHER in that it
schedules the process according to its dynamic priority (based on the
nice value). The difference is that this policy will cause the
scheduler to always assume that the process is CPU-intensive.
Consequently, the scheduler will apply a small scheduling penalty with
respect to wakeup behaviour, so that this process is mildly disfavored
in scheduling decisions.
This policy is useful for workloads that are noninteractive, but do
not want to lower their nice value, and for workloads that want a
determin- istic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra
preemptions (between the workload's tasks).
