*Why* would anyone want to write such a beast?  I was a TOPS-20 user for
years, but now do almost everything exclusively on MS-DOS machines.
While I found ^T to be very useful on the timesharing/multitasking DEC-20,
I don't really know what useful information I'd get out of it on a single-
user DOS system.  I suppose it could tell me that 99.9999% of the time it's
sitting in an idle loop, waiting for keyhits... or that the CPU is either
0% busy or 100% busy.

YOU are the only real "system load".  And if you can't figure out what
you're doing, what good is ^T going to do for you?
