When I run top I get the following result:

enter image description here

pid 3038 is using 18% cpu, however when running

enter image description here

the result is 5.5%. And this number does not appear to be changing with time (i.e. when running the same command a bit later)...

Is the ps command somehow averaging the cpu usage?
