Interesting view from "htop" on M1 MBA 8/512

[1240766]

Comparing htop results with activity monitor. The swap is exactly the same, memory utilization however is very different. Also, looking at CPU utilization htop is showing aggressive usage of CPU while activity monitor shows mostly idle

I am running Citrix Workspace, VS Code, a small react app, a few safari tabs opened.... not much at all. Interesting to me to see memory utilization is less than swap... I am going to get the 16gb and try to turn off swap on it to see if I can get more memory utilization...

On another note, everything is running VERY VERY smoothly, no issues at all.

I prefer gotop to htop - but that is besides the point. Possibly the cores being shown as fully loaded are the efficiency cores? Also, I think htop shows “wired“ memory.

It’s possible the power management of the new cpu is causing disabled cores to show 100% usage. Clearly htop is wrong. Even if you look at the cpu usage by process in htop it’s wrong.

Was htop running native or through Rosetta 2? The memory usage of only 952M could be the result of a process isolation mechanism at work.

Apple Silicone compiled htop left, Intel in Rosetta right. I believe you are correct.

Is there anywhere I can download the AS version of htop?
