*SIMPLE* process monitor - for peaks?
Does anyone know of a _simple_ process monitor, ideally with an
adjustable threshold, that will show when anything (other than "System Idle Process") is using more than x% of CPU, _and show what it is_ (ideally with slight delay/prolongation)? I have (SysInternals) Process Explorer, but that - and even just Task Manager - are somewhat tedious to use in this way - especially for relatively (second or two) short-term peaks. [Shorter than that wouldn't bother me.] Ideally, I'm thinking of something with a _small_ window, that normally shows nothing (or some "all is well" indication), but shows the _name_ of the process when something goes above - I don't know, hence me wanting it to be adjustable, but say 10%? - CPU for more than a second or two. So when I'm doing relatively little, and the fan suddenly ramps up and then down again, I'm not left wondering "what caused that?" (I've thought of just using Task Manager [in CPU-sorted mode], and shrinking its window vertically, but that wouldn't really be satisfactory - not least because [AFAIK] you can't have it _not_ display System Idle Process, which would usually be at the top of the list.) -- J.
