I couldn't seem to get the columns to sort either but you could always
use 'top' from the terminal. Just type (or copy paste) the command like
this:
top -ncols 3 -l1 -n5
ncols tells it to only give the first three columns which is the
processID, process name and %CPU. The l1 means to sample just once. You
can change the number to do it over and over if you want. The n5 means
to show just the top 5 processes. If you want the top 10 just change the
5 to 10.

How odd,
You would think that sorting command would work in such a table. But on my
machine too, it doesn't seem to work.

I know I have low ram, but the question stands: can you sort process lists by
CPU usage or ram? I tried the vo-shift-backslash command and was taken to the
headers list, but activating the buttons there did not seem to do anything at
all. Is there any way to do this?

I had a similar problem with my macbook when I installed mountain lion. I upgraded to 4
gigabytes of ram and that took care of the problem. I rarely ever get the
"busy" notice, and when I do, it lasts for a brief time and then everything
works fine.

Hi all,
Every time I start my mac (2011 Mini with 2gb ram and 10.8), it is sluggish for
at least ten to fifteen minutes. Eventually things calm down, provided I stay
within three or four apps, but for those first minutes everything is slow and
busy more often than not. Is there a way I can use Activity Monitor to see
which apps and/or processes are taking up the mac's resources, such as CPU time
or ram? Thanks.
Have a great day,
