Yes, this message is in my kismet's stderr.

Here's my top kismet part:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
13391 root      76    0  2776K  2140K select   0:06  2.34%  2.34% kismet_server
13389 hans      76    0  2980K  2416K select   0:00  0.00%  0.00% kismet_server
13393 hans      76    0  3104K  2484K select   0:00  0.00%  0.00% kismet_client
13394 hans      76    0  2904K  2224K select   0:00  0.00%  0.00% kismet_client
and some more clients.

WCPU is 2.34% for kismet_server.
