Looking at Activity monitor on a quad-core...
Somewhat geeky question here... I've got menu meters on my new quad iMac and in an enormously refreshing change from my old iMac, I'm used to seeing the CPU bars in the menu show up as almost all white, instead of pegged in red and green all the time. http://dbdev2.pharmacy.arizona.edu/miscjunk/mm.png (and yes, this is correct, because of hyperthreading, it's like I've got eight cores: http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/FAQ.html#hyperthreading) I happened to notice one pegged at nearly 100%, so I went into Activity monitor to look and this is what I saw: http://dbdev2.pharmacy.arizona.edu/miscjunk/finder100.png Note up top it says Finder is using 100% CPU, whereas down below, in the system area it's telling me my CPU is 85% idle...(I was also NOT getting a SPOD in finder) 15% in use JUST about corresponds to 'one of my eight cores is maxed out, plus everything else that's running'; am I correct then, that I'd need to hit 800% CPU for everything to be totally busy? BTW, it's gone back down, so I guess whatever Finder found so compelling to do is finished... -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
