FWIW, I've seen a few distros where top (and other tools) show processes, not necessarily their threads. The two are not the same thing. There are specific flags/arguments you have to throw in. Making it even messier, threads are *usually* pinned per process, per core, so a process view might be all you need, but if threads are talking across processes, and across cores,... yeah.
