Can basic CPU load be done without installing sysstat package?

[sberl]

Can we get basic CPU utilization without needing to install an additional package?
Better instructions in README and in UI on how to install sysstat.

'top' should be on most systems by default. It shows CPU load, memory utilisation

top -b1 -n 1 -w 150

-b: batch mode, non-interactive
-1: show individual CPU (core) load
-n 1: output status once
-w 150: width of output 150 columns

Optionally, if you don't want to see/parse/discard the list of processes, set a user whose processes are shown and pick a user that usually has no processes running, e.g. '-u sys'

Seems this can work without the sysstat package.
