How can I set customise settings for htop?

Occasionally, I need to check resources on several machines throughout our data centres for consolidation recommendations. I prefer htop primarily because of the interactive feel and the display. Is there a way to customise some settings to my setup for htop? For example, one thing I'd always like to have shown is the average CPU load. *Important note:* Setting this on specific boxes isn't feasible - I'm looking for a way to set this dynamically every time I SSH into the box. Is this possible at all?
