I often find it very useful to know how many threads there are, and how many
of them are actually getting processor time and how much. Also zombies
among the threads tend to be bad news, though those should probably be
impossible in the absence of linuxthreads bugs or memory corruption.
I agree that a flag to display only processes would be nice.
