intel-gpu-top -  750/ 581 MHz;    0% RC6;   6211mW;    98952 irqs/s

                 ^ easier as actual/request.  Maybe just actual?

    rcs0  97.58% |█████████████████████████████████▏|  0.00% wait,   0.00% sema
    bcs0  92.87% |███████████████████████████████▌  |  0.00% wait,   0.00% sema
    vcs0  92.70% |███████████████████████████████▌  |  0.00% wait,   0.00% sema
   vecs0  92.90% |███████████████████████████████▌  |  0.00% wait,   0.00% sema

2 decimal places seem ok for busyness, but for wait/sema seem overkill.
Drop down to 1dp for them (or all), or even 0dp. Don't fancy overlaying
them on the bar as a different colour block? ;) Hmm, already using ANSI
so you could...
