It might be worth having a quick look at the template I proposed back
in February last year.   It's in a thread on the coders list entitled
"v5 and Net-SNMP enterprise tree", dated Tue, 12 Feb 2002 14:02:12 +0000

There was a little bit of discussion (mostly Wes saying what he didn't
like), and then it died a death (as usual).   But it did include a
proposed 'nsCPU' group, containing a table of per-CPU monitoring objects.
That might be a possible starting point for designing something more
generally acceptable/useful.

Characteristics of interest included:

    -  framework for supporting "aggregate" as well as per-CPU metrics

    -  a (per-row) nsCPUTotalTicks object (so percentage usage could
        be calculated for a given object without having to retrieve
        *all* column objects, or assuming a particular tick rate)

    -  linked in with hrDeviceTable indexes


Let me know if you can't find this in the list archives, and I'll
repost a copy.
