I was reading a post about gaming and spotted something from Konttori:

with this in mind, is there a GPU stats program or something that will show the % utilization of the GPU (and for that matter, the other hardawre components like DSP etc)?

Good question.
You could ask Eero Tamminen on the developer mailing list about that one. He at least would know if a simple tool exists.

top is not accurate; htop is.

powertop for ARM exists. I think that is the correct tool for this purpose, but I don't know if it works well on N900.

They're talking about the GPU not the CPU. None of those tools have anything to do with the GPU
