> "This cpu is ~80% this is ~25% load" shown with representative bars for a quick visual gauging of the machine's state at a glance. Would it give it any more benefit it it had nice ticks, and fine gradations, and fancy rendering, so that you could tell 78% vs 80% more easily?
Yes. For instance the more cores you have the less room there is to draw a sensible graph, and we're up to 256 threads already. Even less enormous machines are already at the point where text is constaining.

Yeah, but SSH is great and not everything has good remote management. And I want the command line to keep up, not to be the better than nothing option.

It would be turned into an alternate delivery mechanism for GUI apps. I want the command line to be the command line. With text, and, at most, curses.
