brent I haven't used btop and do not have a need at this time, since I used others quite happily, I might add. π In glances the processes jump every 5 seconds or so, so it is not bad. I am certain that you can set the 'jump interval', if you check the man pages for glances, htop and perhaps even btop. Just makes sense. I also use ps aux where things stay still, like a snapshot of the system. Then, if I am looking for a certain item, I do grep the output.
