A single awk script is probably way more efficient than the multiple awks and sorts and echos and what not you had before, that's why I'm proposing it.
If you can fork the code from top to give you exactly the output you want, it will of course be more efficient still, but IMHO probably not worth the programmer effort.
Maybe if you could add a module to top to produce XML or CSV or something else more machine-readable, that could perhaps be worth it.
i see that using a single awk would be faster, but im still working to uderstand how to doit.
eventually i hope my script is a while loop (needed only for dzen) and an awk calling a script file with the -f parameter.
and what you mean by "if you could add a module to top"

I3BAR(1) I3BAR(1)
NAME
i3bar - xcb-based status- and workspace-bar
SYNOPSIS
i3bar [-s sock_path] [-b bar_id] [-v] [-h]
WARNING
i3bar will automatically be invoked by i3 for every bar configuration block.
Starting it manually is usually not what you want to do.
You have been warned!
OPTIONS
-s, --socket sock_path
Overwrites the path to the i3 IPC socket.
-b, --bar_id bar_id
Specifies the bar ID for which to get the configuration from i3.
-v, --version
Display version number and exit.
-h, --help
Display a short help-message and exit
DESCRIPTION
i3bar displays a bar at the bottom (or top) of your monitor(s) containing workspace switching buttons and a statusline generated by
i3status(1) or similar. It is automatically invoked (and configured through) i3.
i3bar does not support any color or other markups, so stdin should be plain utf8, one line at a time. If you use i3status(1), you therefore
should specify output_format = none in the general section of its config file.
ENVIRONMENT
I3SOCK
Used as a fallback for the i3 IPC socket path if neither the commandline contains an argument nor the I3_SOCKET_PATH property is set on the
X11 root window.
EXAMPLES
Nothing to see here, move along. As stated above, you should not run i3bar manually.
Instead, see the i3 documentation, especially the User's Guide.
SEE ALSO
i3status(1) or conky(1) for programs generating a statusline.
dzen2(1) or xmobar(1) for similar programs to i3bar.
