DESCRIPTION
     mpstat reports per-processor  statistics  in  tabular  form.
     Each row of the table represents the activity of one proces-
     sor.  The first table summarizes all  activity  since  boot;
     each  subsequent table summarizes activity for the preceding
     interval.  All values are rates (events per  second)  unless
     otherwise noted.

     mpstat reports the following information:

          CPU     processor ID
          minf    minor faults
          mjf     major faults
