- !CPU_Usage 1.00 (02-Sep-90)
- ===========================
- A utility to show average CPU usage
- ===================================
- Once loaded,a black icon will appear on the icon bar will a number in it.
- This is the number of centiseconds it takes to do one loop of all the tasks.
- Unlike Acorns CPU usage monitor,the AMFsoft version averages the result over
- 25 loops.For example,say you have an application such as !Scroll,that
- scrolls at a constant rate but not all the time.If you were using Acorns CPU
- usage monitor,the graph would keep rising and falling,where as with the
- AMFsoft version,an average is given,so you can tell the real CPU usage.
-
- Recommended use
- ===============
- There are two recommended ways to use !CPU_Usage.
- One is to load a single !CPU_Usage and the task you wish to test.Move the
- pointer onto the backdrop and let the monitor settle.
-
- The second is to load three !CPU_Usages and the task you wish to test.As
- before,move the pointer onto the backdrop and let all the monitors settle.
- If all the monitors show roughly the same number,then this is a good
- indication of usage.
-
- This program is mainly intended for program development,to check if your new
- routine really is faster,or not.
