Hi Mike. Are you on 32 or 64 bits ?

If 32 bit you might like to take a look at this here, which 
I compiled and packaged for Centos 5.5 32 bit - works on 5.8 
OK as well:

Package Signing Key:
www.karsites.net/centos/downloads/5.6/karsites-GPG-public-key-2011-03-18.asc

32 bit binary RPM:
www.karsites.net/centos/downloads/5.6/qps-1.9.18.6-1.i386.rpm

Fedora 6 source code I rebuilt qps from:
www.karsites.net/centos/downloads/5.6/qps-1.9.18.6-1.fc6.src.rpm

If you click on the %MEM or %CPU headings, this will 
toggle the sort order of the running processes by highest to 
lowest and v/v for those headings - same applies to the 
other headings.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
