You're probably right, I'm just having a hard time believing it - it's so much easier to believe that somehow it's just piping output.
You can ask it to write a program that consumes ram, then ask it to show you htop output while running that program and its showing a process hogging 100% CPU and 50% memory. Conversely ask it to write a program that throws a segv and then to show htop output while running that program and it shows no usage.
