How much load do tools like this add to the system. Ideally you want monitoring tools to be like using a voltmeter on an electronic circuit... display what's happening but adding very little influence of its own.

Virtually none in this case, though letting the processes page run on my system eats up 2% of the CPU (a long, updating list), versus 0% on everything else. Uses Flask.

Do these things have a harder time pulling such figures off of VPSs?

Sadly, the figure was not so conservative on my Raspberry Pi (closer to 25%).

That's not very good. On all pages or just the process-list page?

I could add an option that disables the auto-updating. The only thing that's currently polled by a background thread is some network information from /proc/net/dev.

Well I incidentally only checked while on the process page (and promptly removed it), but nice work none the less.
