/Applicationa/Utilities/Activities Monitor.app - It's essentially
taking the output from top and other unix utilities and putting them
into a easily configurable windowed interface.

As I say to our mutual friend and repeat here, "If you don't bother to
learn the system and its tools, you spend a lot of time and energy
venting your frustration." It's not a Linux system, a Windows system
or a UNIX system. Don't make assumptions. ;-) For the geeky minded,
there are also a great deal more system and application analysis tools
available when you install the Xcode development tools bundle.

Since I don't know what you did to move your file repository, I can't
really help your understanding of what LR might be doing.
