Hi guys, i noticed that running the app "HTop" and running the process "top" (by typing the word 'top' in xTerminal) gives me way different results.

When i look at the MEM% in "HTop", i can see that hildon-desktop shows around 6.5~7.5+, whereas running "top" in xTerminal it shows 0.7.

And is my hildon-desktop running around 6.5~7.5+ normal??

BTW, what is the process Xorg in /usr/bin/Xorg ?? I see that at the top of my list all the time, even though it doesn't always have the highest MEM%.....

i thought i clearly said MEM.....

and believe me, i ALWAYS Google everything first. I just get a bunch of results that don't make sense to me. I'm not a programmer or developer or anything, i can't understand those technical descriptions. Google Xorg and you'll see none of them are simple english descriptions of what it does.

What else you need? Picture
i thought i asked if you could Google "Xorg", then u won't get those results.

Is it so hard to ask for help these days?? All i know is that Xorg is a file process running on my N900, simply Googling Xorg or even "what is Xorg" won't give you accurate results since it returns answers based on Linux or something like that. Sure N900 is based on linux, but maybe the process is slightly different on the phone itself, that's y i asked about it here.

Wouldn't it be better and more specific to ask questions at the dedicated forum for the device itself?? Why is the Maemo.org community not like any other out there?? People often took the time to reply "GOOGLE IT" and if they could've done that, they probably could've shared their knowledge and made things simpler that way for everyone.

Everyone's telling everyone else to Google this and that, when the forum itself should provide dedicated help to the device itself.

@shadowz1337
Don`t get offended many people are saying goolge it due to the fact that the answer has been given multuple times in multiple threads.

Take it easy.

4.2% for both top and htop for me. Have 2 desktops, only a few widgets (biggest probably rss and calendar) and 2 X-terminals.

actually, the most accurate result may come from neither htop nor top, but from a "ps -aux", sience it lacks for every beauty user convenience tool that top or htop gives you

Both ps and top are busybox applets and show the same info. Also, busybox ps silently ignores any command line arguments so -aux is a nop.

Oh letīs copy paste original.
The memory meter in htop says a low number, such as 9%, when top shows something like 90%! (Or: the MEM% number is low, but the bar looks almost full. What's going on?)

The number showed by the memory meter is the total memory used by processes. The additional available memory is used by the Linux kernel for buffering and disk cache, so in total almost the entire memory is in use by the kernel. I believe the number displayed by htop is a more meaningful metric of resources used: the number corresponds to the green bars; the blue and brown bars correspond to buffers and cache, respectively (as explained in the Help screen accessible through the F1 key). Numeric data about these is also available when configuring the memory meter to display as text (in the Setup screen, F2).[1]
