Ah you want to combine process counts and ignored
multiple thread listsings. Is this of any use?

#!/usr/bin/env python
#This scripts assumes threads are already merged by ps

import sys, os

cmds={}
for line in os.popen("ps -Al | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f10,14 | sed 1d 
| sort -k1,1n").readlines():
     size, cmd = line.split()
     cmds[cmd]=cmds.setdefault(cmd,0)+int(size)

sort_list = cmds.items()
sort_list.sort(lambda x,y:cmp(x[1],y[1]))

for cmd in sort_list:
     print "%20s %s" % (cmd[0], cmd[1])

Changing priority of a process

The nice value (-20 to 19) represents the priority of a process.
The lower the value, the higher the priority. On a multi user
system consider running non interactive processes like:
   nice low_priority_command
You can retroactively give a process less priority like:
   renice 20 low_priority_pid
Root can give processes more priority.
