What's that displayed on 'top'?



Hello,
On the CPU row of top, there's various stuff displayed:
'us' (which I assume is CPU cycles consumed by processes owned by the
user running top), 'sy' (which I assume is those owned by root), 'id'
(which I assume means idle), and there is 'wa', 'hi', 'si' whose
meaning I don't know.
I checked on the manpage without success... Could anyone tell me what
these last 3 (wa, hi, si) mean.
Thanks...
