Oh crap.  I think you're right.  And I think I even asked for that.  ;-)

Hmm.  

Is it a crime to use the full word "Processor"?  At least on my machine, the 
output width is still far less than 80 characters, so the full word should be 
no problem.  But I don't know if there are other strange topologies out there 
that would take up more space...?  (it certainly would in the graphic output...)

Ah.  Maybe in -v mode, we should print bytes, not KB or MB.  Completely 
un-ambiguous that way.
