Hello,

htop is a fantastic tool and thanks to Hisham for creating it.

I have run into only one issue that is a bit confusing and hoping there is a way to filter, disable, or represent a different way.

htop appears to be enumerating through /proc/<pid>/task/<tid> and listing the threads of a process as individual child PIDs.

Starting up one of our tomcat server processes for example, htop will show over 90 child PIDs when in reality this is a single PID with no children.  At first we started looking for these child PIDs and of course these don't exist and are actually Thread ID's (TID) of the single process.

I would like to get htop in to the hands of our support staff but need to be able to turn off TIDs for now.
Is this possible?

Threads of a process are an interesting statistic but in the future could they be represented differently to distinguish them from PIDs?

Some suggestions:
A column with total # of threads (TIDs) that a process has.
Expand/Collapse just TIDs of a process in tree view
Colorize those lines in the htop list as TIDs

I'm using htop 1.02 on RHEL 6, CentOS 6, and Debian 7 (wheezy)

Thanks,
-Alan
