Older Puppys have Top to check running processes, etc. I notice that it has only one reading for CPU usage whereas HTop (the utility in newer Puppys) have readings for multi-core CPU's eg. my dual-core processor shows reading for two "cpu's" with Htop but only one reading with Top. Does Top combine the readings for multi-core cpu's or does it only show the reading for one processing unit? I'm experimenting with different Puppys on the same machine with regards to CPU usage which could have an effect on general power usage. So far there has been some surprising results.
1) Puppy 412 - Using old version of VLC running high quality video > average CPU load according to Top = 45%
2) Racy 5.5 - Same VLC version and same video as in 1 > Top = 20%
3) Tahr 6.0.5 - Newer version of VLC, same video > HTop = 40% (combined total for duo-processor units) so that makes it 20% on average. Same as Racy.

All depends upon OS and version etc. My OpenBSD top command for instance shows all four of my cores.

Yea, top is a busybox utility, htop is its own program.nic007 wrote:Probably old or cutdown version
Probably top is in all the puppies, just not on the menu.
edit: htop available for version 4.xx puppies
