Is this what you want:

$ ps -auxw | grep idle
root        11 99.0  0.0     0     8  ??  RL     7:45PM   0:00.00 [idle: 
cpu1]
root        12  0.0  0.0     0     8  ??  RL     7:45PM  51:04.57 [idle: 
cpu0]

I'm sure it could be a top issue, but other tools that don't use top 
report only 50% total cpu usage..
