I think we may have to live with this, even if we can cut down CPU
percentage part, the memory column's width is still too narrow for
modern systems.  I have actually thought about having the numbers
humanized but I'm afraid it would break some existing scripts :(

Will it sound reasonable to divide pcpu by ncpu and cap the number at 100?
