[QUOTE="mac57, post: 354448, member: 17052"] I second the vote for MenuMeters. I couldn't live without it. I am not sure I would agree with giulio's proxy advice from it though, such as "take a nap"! :dive: Instead, I use MenuMeters to spot any issues as they happen. If I am not doing anything with the machine and I see the CPU is pegged at 100%, I know I have an issue. Same for hard drive. For example I once found a widget that was misbehaving and keeping the CPU pegged full out. I discovered the issue via MenuMeters, and then used the Mac's Activity Monitor to zero in on the offending process. Unfortunately, I don't remember which one it was. [/QUOTE]
