- I was looking at the CPU thermometer that comes with the development tools.
- It has three bars labelled U, K, and T. I guess that is for User, Kernel,
- and Task switch. Does anyone (e.g. Microsoft) know for sure?
-
- The scale on these bars goes from 0-100. At first I thought this meant
- percent of CPU time, but then noticed that they normally add up to well
- over 100. During a compile, U ranges from 30-80, K from 5-40, and
- T from 80-100.
-
- What is this thing telling me?
