Well, if this is the prevailing view, it'd be best just to remove kpm from 
kdeutils entirely, and I'll just stick it on www.freekde.org/neil/kpm or 
something.  I'm not going to be able to get around to rewriting the thing.

The reason I prefer kpm to ksysguard is that ksysguard is too big and 
featureful to be efficient for the 5 seconds at a time I run kpm.  Adding 
features to ksysguard from kpm won't fix that.
