"""
    PSUTIL "Top" CPU Processes - Desktop Widget

    Creates a floating CPU utilization window running something similar to a "top" command.

    Use the spinner to adjust the number of seconds between readings of the CPU utilizaiton
    Rather than calling the threading module this program uses the PySimpleGUI perform_long_operation method.
        The result is similar.  The function is run as a thread... the call is simply wrapped.
