Take a look at the "last pid" values and the time of each top snapshot:

> last pid: 92665;  load averages:  2.40,  2.68,  4.75    up 5+02:45:23  20:29:07
> last pid: 99336;  load averages:  1.47,  2.05,  3.66    up 5+02:52:06  20:35:50

So, in 7 minutes your system has launched 6671 processes, and in your first
top snapshot I see sh and snmpget processses.  The reason you don't see any
processes in top consuming CPU is that they are being created and then exit
before top can print them.  If you turn process accounting on (add
accounting_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, then run "/etc/rc.d.d/accounting
start"), you can run the "lastcomm" command to see a log of every process
that has exited and its CPU usage.  It won't really tell you any more than
"you are running Cacti and monitoring a lot of devices" :)
