Re: Realtime processor speed tool?
Could it be sysctl? sysctl hw.cpufrequency (you have to divide the answer by 1 million) gives you proc speed, but I don't know whether it's actually measuring or just reporting the state of a variable. TimH I tried on my TiBook (1GHz) and it says 66700 (that would be 667MHz). Both System Profiler and the Hardware preference pane (installed by CHUD) report 1GHz. In Energy Saver, processor performance is set to highest. What gives? Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

You could run a cpu intensive benchmark and see if it runs faster on line power. -- Wherever you go, there you are. - B.
