[hobbit] CPU Utilization Not Correct or Averaging

[Rich Smrcina]

If the other tools are using their own functions to get the utilization, 
it could show much different values than the operating system provided 
features that Hobbit typically uses.  The sampling interval will also 
make a big difference.  It's best to compare apples to apples (as much 
as you can).
