Description
I can't remember the exact time when this behavior started, it's probably at least a week old. (Further investigation showed this issue likely arose when I upgraded to 3.4.0 on March 10)
htop shows massively too small CPU/RAM stats for individual processes. I don't remember seeing a single row at or above 2% in a long time. What can I share to help debug this? Is it just me? I can't see any setting that might cause this. I've recorded top and htop in split panes as a GIF to show how blatant the differences are (e.g. factor of 40 for the Gifox process).
I'm observing this on the latest homebrew installed htop.
htop --version reports 3.4.0-dev.
I'm on macOS 15.3.1, on M1 Apple silicon.
I'm getting the same results with the latest main branch compiled from source htop 3.4.1-dev-3.4.0-16-g28a62d7.
Things look much better on version 3.3.0 compiled from source. (I don't know if correct but I'm immediately getting 40% CPU usage)
Here's my htoprc just in case:
# Beware! This file is rewritten by htop when settings are changed in the interface.
# The parser is also very primitive, and not human-friendly.
