       | You can track this by running both and htop with the total CPU

       | much more.
       | 
       | This becomes a bigger deal the longer a machine is running. I
       | specifically use btop for this when fuzzing because any CPU it
       | doesn't use goes to the fuzzer. And I still want to track the
       | state of the machine while fuzzing, _especially_ while fuzzing
       | since it 's under extreme load.

       | If you're installing a distro package or one of the builds

       | unusually for a fancy art-ified Makefile it correctly handles the

       | For measuring parallel CPU utilisation, I still prefer htop

       | usage for each core.
