           Summary: PerformanceCounter "% Processor Time" effectively
                    returns "% Idle Time"

Test App

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5)
Gecko/2008121622 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.5

In Windows under .NET, % Processor Time is the usage of the processor. Under
Mono it gives the % idle time. This is the inverse of what is needed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run the test app.
Actual Results:  
Process time should be slightly higher than user time

Expected Results:  
it is actually idle time...compare with top utility to see.

I patched the file, ./mono/metadata/mono-perfcounters-def.h @ line 16:
from:
PERFCTR_COUNTER(CPU_PROC_TIME, "% Processor Time", "", Timer100Ns, unused)
to:
PERFCTR_COUNTER(CPU_PROC_TIME, "% Processor Time", "", Timer100NsInverse,
unused)

This gave the correct output on my linux box, don't know what it will do on a
windows box.
