Normal top has -b (and -d) to have it print info to stdout periodically, nvidia-smi has --loop to do the same, could nvtop's snapshot gain the same functionality? (And maybe have it output a single line for easier interop with line based tools). It would save me from spawning a new process and doing all the initialization logic periodically (which is especially painful on nvidia cards, where a single nvtop -s run can take 1.5 seconds with ~80% SYS CPU usage during that period).
