We notice in this line of the display
Cpu(s): 31.9% us, 14.6% sy,  0.0% ni,  0.3% id, 52.8% wa,  0.3% hi,  0.0% si
the % character is repeated, wasting space, which could be better used
adding more letters, e.g., to "wa", which e.g., the user cannot be
sure the meaning of, even after skimming the man page. So say
something like Cpu(s)%: ...
Indeed, commas could go too, etc. Creatively jam packing...
