Old top would only count system processes in the summary line if they were also being displayed below (i.e.: using the 'S' command or the -S switch). Yet other restrictions on the main display were not reflected in the count. For example if you restrict the view to a particular command or user the count would still include all user processes. This seemed inconsistent to me and in the end I decided to count all processes regardless of what was being displayed. In version 3.8 the process count is (almost) the same as "ps ax | wc -l". I will make sure the documentation reflects this. Bill LeFebvre
