There's something wrong with asapm or with my system -- I configured 
asapm for 5 seconds updating (as opposed to default 1s) and after 3 
hours of uptime it already consumed 30 CPU-seconds. (!)

Regarding look, I would prefer asapm to use a bit more of space like 
wmbsdbatt does (or wmcpuload which I've long been using as a visual load 
monitor).
