I had not seen byobu package, I agree.
I propose :
myscreen is much lighter than byobu. myscreen will not allow you to
customize a profile, because all statistics are provided by a single small
program written in C named myscreen-stats. myscreen is expected to consume
very few resources and it is particularly suitable for systems with limited
resources.
