During casual conversation in #ramaze on Freenode, manveru told me about htop. This is a great program; far superior to normal top. You can sort; scroll (sideways, even!); easily renice or SIG processes; easily configure various meters and the displayed columns; view processes in a tree layout; and more. It’s in colour, too! Anyone serious about their top usage should check this out.
Know of similar programs? Leave a comment. (I already know KDE has its System Guard.)
