Dramatically reduce the CPU usage of 'top'
Authored by: roncross@cox.net on Feb 20, '04 03:33:28PM

I am reading and understanding the following from this post. Top is not really a CPU hog, but that the value that is being reported is very inaccurate. If this is the case, then it would seem reasonable that the next logical step would be to modify top in such a way as to give itself an accurate reading.

I have also used top to monitor my processes and I never see a slow down in speed based on the reading that I get from top even though it usually reads above 10%.

thx
