Looks good, thanks!
IO mode seems to have changed a bit, giving different values to 3.5, it
seems while 3.5 gives you the count for the sample period, 3.8 always
gives you a per-second rate, e.g. top -mio -s 20:
3.8:
44181 freaky 240 0 240 0 0 240 99.74% cat
3.5:
44181 freaky 4664 5 4667 0 0 4667 100.00% cat
This might be confusing, since it means values from two different top
-mio's are no longer directly comparable.
3.8 also seems to be lacking IO sorting options; "o vcsw" etc are
missing. Will they be returning?
Also, the [number] argument given to -m io has no effect:
top -m io 10
Setting it after loading with "n 10<enter>" causes top to exit.
