CPU widget get lied? #165

134 % ??? WHAT?

And it shows about 11-16% for awesome wm always. Even at the same time when Gnome Monitor shows only 1-3%.

134% means that the process runs on more than one core. In total you may have 400%: it's similar to what they discuss here: https://askubuntu.com/a/707206/95365

I would guess that Gnome Monitor shows percentage of total CPU capacity.

I think you're right, ps returns average historic values: #175 I'll make it an optional parameter, so you'll be able to either show average historic or current values. Will post here when it's done. Thanks for the issue!
