Alright, thank you.
In other news, since a reboot earlier today (which I was totally not expecting because I keep forgetting BT HID Scripts forces reboot after every update... ugh, I need to remember that), battery graph has stopped showing the processor activity. So I'm guessing it was something either linked to apt-get doing some background work post-install, or something else in the bowels of the OS I know nothing of.
Anyway, I don't have HTop simply because I'm not sure if it actually provides anything I, with my level of knowledge (IE, limited) could benefit from. Ultimately, doesn't just "top" give you the same information?
As for PowerTop, I have it, and have used it, but i have yet to really understand much of anything it tells me enough to figure out what's what. At best I understand how much time the CPU is spending in what state. But even then, vaguely, and in a sense I don't think power-top can really tell me what the N900 is doing while it is idle for long periods of time, simply because for me to be running it it has to be partially active already, no? I suppose I can open X-Term, enter "powertop", push the lock switch, and sit there for a minute, then open it up and look at the feedback... *Shrug* Of course, if I wanted to get fancy I would find a way to make it run every X amounts of time, and then write the output somewhere. Let it do so at night... But whatever.
The random processor thing stopped, so for the time being, I'm good either way.
