Are there any contradictionary opinions?  Even Suns ship with top(1)
by default, and given its deep internal knowledge of the kernel
structures, the ports version is pretty useless for a machine that is
tracking -current (or even one that is upgraded by the official
releases when forgetting to always upgrade to the most recent version
of top as well).
