 Try contacting HP to see if you can _borrow_ a program called monitor.
I used one on a 9000/500 and it showed just about everything. I was able
to get a copy when we were evaluating a second CPU board for the 500.
(yes, they bought it). Watching the task switching and the processors 
going from task to task was one of the most instructive things I have
ever done on UNIX :-).
