Here's some additional info. I had a lot of different emulators installed
from some earlier stuff. I'm not sure whether this test would actually
measure the activity in question, however.

Then within each separate emulator, I'd run this command and close the
terminal (while `sleep` was running) by clicking the 'x' in the upper right
of the GUI. ...except for with tilda, I had to use a right-click context
