W.r.t 'top' , I like ttyload, a nice tool to visualize cpu load and spikes in a simple plotted terminal graph. I run it in a screen so i can look at it any time by attaching to it. screen -S myttyload -> creates a screen called myttyload screen -x myttyload -> attaches to it ; ctrl+A, then d -> detaches from screen without exiting.
