Is there a quick way to avoid having all those cores take up the top 32 lines of the screen?

Checking my 40 core machine in a typical terminal window, I can't see any of the processes, just 40 lines of CPU! Thanks.

If you press F2 you can change the setup for the top meters and switch it out with CPU average or other combinations of cores.

...or if you're not the interactive type (or deploy untold millions of images), edit .htoprc .

Hm. Given the opacity of that config file, I went the way "configure interactively, then roll out the new .htoprc"

Really? Recent versions shouldn't take more than 10 lines for 40 cores. It displays them in 4 columns.
