And I think to get a better reading of the system state, you have to reduce the frequency of htop updates. Say down to every 3 or 4 secs to start. I don't see what you see in the video recordings you stored. Maybe because the top of the screen image you recorded seems to get corrupted towards the end of the video. But htop itself is taking 15% of a CPU by then. > if i watch htop on ctrl+alt+f1 terminal xserver isn't even on the > first page but htop still shows high cpu usage > > https://asciinema.org/a/l81ZO3hSHbA4jLm6fwLlIrfUS > recorded on ctrl+alt+f1 terminal > ran htop as root and enabled to show kernel threads > tho cpu usage of kernel threads aren't being displayed > >
