I keep the cpu monitor part of the activity monitor running in the dock icon and keep an eye on it. It should be completely zero when I am not interacting with the machine. Maybe I am too old, but watching the cpu monitor on any machine I am working on is as natural to me, as watching the rev counter of my car when I am driving :).
- manquer 10y agoOvetime the activity monitor also consumes significant battery...
- _ph_ 10y agoThe activity monitor when run as an icon should consume no noticeable energy, it is <1% power usage - a single "nasty" tab can load the cpu 10-30% or more. I think this is a good trade off, especially when the run time does not match the expectations.
