Sorry. I didn't immediately remember this was intentional. Had a busybox
window aside, and it got no total field for CPU count, starts with user
percentage. Toybox differing in that it lets 100% represent one core
rather than all CPUs, across all fields, was clear from the varying 370%
in idle, so the total may be unnecessary:

But some redundancy is okay, just got confused. Never mind.
