Well if it were possible to display a small(very small)bitmap
or xwindows bitmap file of a tachometer with a dial that reflects
the load. This would require of course several bitmaps stored
on the system. Each of the bitmaps would reflect a different
load(state). The higher the needle is on the tachometer the 
higher the load on the system would be. Hope that is clear.
