[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1628996, member: 307555"] 0% CPU means the program (process/thread) is available but not in use therefore not taking up any CPU time. Some program or system process called threads that are needed is loaded but currently isn't using being used. Idle wake ups: According to Intel an Idle Wake Up is the number of times a thread (process/program) caused the system to wake up from idleness to begin executing the thread. [url]https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/496836[/url] It is a power savings feature introduced with Mavericks (I think) and is also used by Yosemite. As to disabling processes - Not a good idea. OS X is not at all like Windows. OS X does a much better job of managing memory and other system resources. There are guys on here who could tell you how to do it but trust me it is not necessary. I have over 30 years on Windows systems and I know what you mean about tweaking processes having done it many times. I have never done anything like it on a Mac. Lisa [/QUOTE]
