              * = maximum CPU%   # = average CPU%

Conditions:
'show processes cpu' would show that 'hwclock' is responsible for hogging the CPU

PID    Runtime(ms)  Invoked   uSecs  1Sec    Process
-----  -----------  --------  -----  ------  -----------
28220        29275      1862  15722   49.0%  hwclock
    1         7712      6124   1259    0.0%  init

Note: This happens for a very short time and it maybe a bit difficult to catch it from the 'show processes cpu' output
