personally I've always found gnome-system-monitor awfully memory consumptive, and presumed it must be due to the resources time chart which appears to use vectors. This does need to be dealt with - I think it should be a really light weight app because I mostly use it to check out why my system is running slow, and to kill other slow apps. A clunky program is obviously not ideal for this... I haven't actually upgraded yet, but I've never come across it using that much of the processor... so sorry, can't really help, just thought I'd add a bit :) =================================== Farran Lee I'm only 16 :P -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
