To view CPU and memory use of all processes	`show processes limit <num>`	limit <num> - Show processes, limiting the number of lines displayed. Use this to generate a "top N" style display. The default sort order is CPU usage
	`show processes sort {cpu\|memory\|time}`	sort {cpu\|memory\|time} - Sort processes by CPU usage, memory (RSS as a percentage of total) or process time
	`show processes threads`	threads - Show process threads
