I think there is a better opportunity for a performance monitor that
doesn't cost "obscene" amounts of resource, and reports correctly....
(Oh yah, ESALPS comes to mind)

When I do a TOP, the Performance Toolkit shows a spike to 90% of the

When I do a PS, it pages on forever (actually 400+ processes).

That's a pretty obscene amount of resource consumption by top.   I
don't *think* it should be doing that to you.


When you get up to that many processes running, top does indeed do that to you. 
 I suspect there are some serious opportunities for code optimization in top.
