Can't get with the recommendation to run perf monitors. These displays irritate me with their constant movement. When I want to know what's up, I run dstat, htop, and friends. Most of the time, my screens are calm.
Performance requirements should be covered by tests. Relying on the dev to notice is a form of manual testing. Nice if regressions are discovered that way, but don't rely on it.
On the flip side, I once had a mainboard where psu noise leaked onto the audio path. The little chirps were only audible when it was quiet and gave me nonintrusive feedback on the activity level of the hardware. I still miss that board.

It was a long time ago, I rocked a Core2Quad at the time, but the motherboard had this issue that the audio in the headphones jacket would pickup both when the CPU was stressed (I guess due to power consumption) and additionally some mouse movement would also do small little noises - this forced me to use the keyboard more often, learned a lot of shortcuts at that time. I remember that computer wasn't like this from the get go but started exhibiting this, after an year with it, I used it like this for at least three more years and then got a new one and the old one was converted to a media center.
