I've previously used bpytop but its there is its cousin btop that is more slim and trim, the member of the family thats been to the gym.

Here is how to install it:

wget -qO btop.tbz https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/releases/latest/download/btop-x86_64-linux-musl.tbz
# For Raspberry Pi use
wget -qO btop.tbz https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/releases/download/v1.2.8/btop-armv7l-linux-musleabihf.tbz

sudo tar xf btop.tbz 
sudo mv btop/bin/btop /usr/local/bin
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Select and use en_US.UTF-8 en_ZA.UTF-8

Thats it. You can now use btop to see what is happening and using resources on the edge.
