Perhaps it's better to try to print lines
in fewer printks?  Maybe use a line buffer?

The first line could be newline terminated.
"if (alloc)" tests for the individual newlines could be added.
Why aren't the group widths on separate lines?
All of the cpu_widths are on the same line as the parent group
even if that exceeds apl.  Is that what's desired?
