Conky - CPU use discrepancy

Just trying out Conky for the first time, and I think everything is working but the CPU load. It seems to be almost inverted from what my CPU load is showing via 'top' or the 'gnome-system-monitor' (e.g. if there's a load of 5% per gnome or top, conky will show cpu use at ~95%).

I've looked through the man page and the sourceforge site and other people's posted conkyrc files online. The values for the process cpu usage seem to be fine, and track with 'top' output.

I have an hp dv6000 (dual amd 64).

Here are the applicable lines from my .conkyrc:

# number of cpu samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
cpu_avg_samples 2

$color0[ CPU ] $hr $color1
CPU Usage: ${cpu}% $alignr $freq_g GHz
Core 0: ${color 3399FF}${cpu cpu1}% ${cpubar cpu1 6,75} $color1 Core 1: ${color 9933FF}${cpu cpu2}% ${cpubar cpu2}$color1
Cpu Graph:
${alignr 24}${cpugraph 24,200 1A2B38 D9DBE1}

Any ideas??

Thanks, Scott
