Thanks for installing htop already :)

Now that same process has two threads, both using 100% of a core, so we 
have a load average of 2 and cores 1 and 2 (in top, or 2 and 3 in htop) 
are fully utilized. htop is showing the second as PID 10944 but top and 
ps do not show it that way... I'm not sure how to interpret that.

If this continues, eventually it will grow to 8 threads, and then the 
crosswire.org server will be in trouble :(
