@ Michal Golebiowski G-s-m works fine on all my machines, even on my ThinkPad Edge (screen shot). Only once in a while I had the problem with the cpu Usage. The attached screenshot shows my ThinkPad (intel U7300) with G-s-m running in the task bar and X-Window, monitoring cpu, ram, network and cpu speeds. Arround 8% for g-s-m with refresh @ 500 ms is the normal condition on my system. The problems occured only sometimes (two times a month). On my other machines (debian AMD64 Phenom II, fedora AMD Turion x2) I never had any Problems with g-s-m in years. So it seems that most machines don't have problems at all, some have problems all the time and some (my ThinkPad) have troubles only once in a while.
I have also tried to use g-s-m and top at the same time. Normally nothing goes wrong but if g-s-m causes trouble and I use top at the same time, top starts using 99% of the second core (g-s-m 99% of the first) and the system is nearly frozen.
