Actually, I wrote the original version (for X10R4 in 1987).

When I made the switch from suntools to X, I wanted something like the
cpu perfmeter. I looked at xload but the idea of graphing an
exponential average was "just too funny" so I turned a copy of xload
into xcpu.

Jef correctly states that I have been working on a X11R4 version. In
fact, it's been fully functional since July. I've also added a
"LineGraph" option to the StripChart widget (by coincidence, I just
finished debugging it last night). I'll try to get the manual entry
tweaked up and make it all available in the near future.
