The part I don't like about System Monitor is that it freezes your entire desktop if you have a mounted network filesystem (e.g. FUSE's sshfs) and your network connection drops. Merely laggy network makes the desktop experience jerky. Doing I/O in the main compositor thread is a bad idea, but I don't think the gnome-shell extension model supports threads, and not every API has an async version.
