the CPU and PB commands. Note this value can be gloabally changed with the SET
RATE option. You can override the default value without changing the
default by specifying RATE on the CPU or PB command. Note that although
short sample intervals such as 1 or 2 seconds cause the screen to update frequently and
these fast sample times are supported by RPM, a one second update is not necessarily
the best setting. Too frequent updates can be disorientating, and in particular a 10
second sample interval has some special advantages. When RATE is 10 seconds, the
digits to the right of the %Busy decimal point represent milliseconds. No other short term
RATE provides this numerical convenience. For example:

Milliseconds Used SET RATE

Percent CPU Busy

1.00% Cpu Busy
