Is there a better way to display cpu usage in tmux?

Here's a solution which may consume a lot of cpu usage (stolen from this article):

There's a difference in my Ubuntu 12 ec2 server, I have to use top -bn1 instead of top -ln.

Here's my related .tmux.conf file:

set -g status-right '#[fg=yellow]#[(getCpuUsage.sh)]'

It actually calls top every 2 seconds and outputs a whole lot of information. I think there should be a way involving less cpu consumption or use some flag to limit the output of top to only cpu usage.

tmux shell linux

  1. stat top command.
  2. press 1.
  3. Press 0 then
  4. Press "t" twice.

It will display bar graph of the CPU usage. You can change the color by +z. Then color number in the list.
