Instead of presenting lots of specific info on running processes
in digital form, lavaps tries to present certain important information
in graphical analog form. The idea is that you can run it in the background
and get a rough idea of what's happening to your system without devoting
much concentration to the task.
Kudos to the author for providing a mostly-complete freebsd
port for his software!
