So what? If you don't like the interface because it does ever so
expensive file system lookups (I wonder what's so expensive if no disk
drive latencies are involved), suggest a better one and donate an
implementation.

I'm sure I'd find disadvantages of non-Linux top if I only cared to
look. I don't. It works when I need it, it's not in my way otherwise,
that's as much as I care.
