- CPU Monitor Copyright (C) Moose O'Malley,
- ----------- September 1996.
-
- CPU Monitor for Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, NT.
-
- A utility to display graphical details of CPU usage and
- the average CPU usage.
-
- Developed using 16-bit Delphi.
-
- It took me ages to work out how to benchmark the CPU in Windows.
-
- It is fairly easy to make the CPU do some tasks and time how
- long it takes.
-
- But, how do you know how fast the CPU could do the tasks ?
- How fast could it do them if no other tasks were running ?
- How would your monitor program know the answers to these
- questions when it may never have been run on the machine in
- its virgin state ?
- How do you know how fast the machine could run under Windows ?
-
- It is like asking how fast your car can go, when you have never
- put your foot down !!
-
- Anyway, I thought about these questions all day, and finally
- got the inspiration.
-
- The program I am comparing Cpu Monitor to is the CPU monitor
- in Dashboard 95.
-
- Well, CPU Monitor seems to handle programs better (FTP, and
- FTP server programs go straight to 100% under Dashboard, but
- CPU Monitor seems to give better answers).
-
- Also, CPU Monitor calculates average CPU usage as well !!
-
- Also, if your machine is loading WORD or some big program,
- which locks out Dashboard 95 from monitoring, then Dashboard
- does not notice that it missed out on monitoring for several
- seconds, and does not register any 100% utilisation.
- This CPU Monitor program does !!
