I meant the bit underneath that - I only have 4 cores (8 on my
haswell) and I use 40 line terms so lots of room for details, here's
a quick copy of the first few processes on an idle desktop:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES %CPU %MEM TIME+ S COMMAND
1321 root 20 0 370.6m 55.4m 1.3 0.7 0:35.85 S Xorg
22670 ken 20 0 3199.1m 146.4m 0.7 1.8 0:06.61 S falkon
22733 ken 20 0 2276.9m 348.6m 0.7 4.4 0:21.15 S QtWebEngineProc
1 root 20 0 4.2m 1.4m 0.0 0.0 0:00.40 S init
At that moment Xorg was using most cpu (1.3%).

calculus. I couldn't do them in my 20s either, so no big loss.
