Cpu usage graph

I was looking at my cpu usage graph today and it seemed like it was high. It is hovering at 5% to 9% but when I look at top the idle cpu% is from 99.3 to 99.9 so I dont think I am using very much. Anyone have ideas at to why there is such a big difference from top to the linode graph?
