I'm not surprised by Busybox "top" interpreting things strangely
(e.g. with swap). Install "htop" from extras, that is much nicer
(for starters, you can use it with stylus)...

AFAIK it was not possible to make thumb detection reliable enough.
The detection was based on "pressure" information, but strong press
with stylus gives as much pressure as light press with thumb (=larger
area) and the touchscreen sensitivity might differ a bit between
devices, different parts of the screen and that changes over time too.
