So have I, except that top's "SIZE" field does not match the "SZ" field of "ps
auxw" on Balance nor Symmetry, and top's "RES" field does not come near ps's
"RSS" field on the Balance.  This has not worked since Top version 1.  I tend
to believe the "ps" command.  Top would be more useful if it worked correctly
on the Sequent.  Sure it displays the top cpu users, but so does:

	ps auxw | sort -n -r +2 -3 | head -10
