Description
While monitoring of CPU Usage jconsole shows negtive CPU Usage. 

.csv file and screenshot of such situation are atteched.

How to reproduce:

Start jconsole and attach it to any process(Java2D demo in my case).
Negative cpu usage will be shown on cpu usage monitor afrter some monitoring time.

My Machine:
Processor:  Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz x2

On slow machines like P-III(~800 MHz) cpu monotor shows correct values.

Comments
I changed my mind, the UI should be robust enough to fix data from the Mxbean.

could not see any problem here, and the data is taken from the OperatingSystemMXBean, so if this arises anywhere, a bug should be opened on that.
