Dramatically reduce the CPU usage of 'top'
Authored by: skimmilk on Feb 20, '04 11:28:39AM

Top is NOT a CPU hog. However, when it is polling your system for information, it "activates" and spends CPU power for a very short time and it reports itself since it is active. However, over the course of say 30 secs, the consumption is very small.
