Aha. The Applet is named KSysGuard in the Add to Panel -> Applet list.
It seems to come up showing CPU usage, which is dynamic and
interesting, and Memory usage, which is rather boring. So far my
attempts to configure the Applet have led to the not very useful
information that I can change the update interval, or "use update
interval of worksheet". Also I can change the scale.
What worksheet? And can I show other information such as network activity?
$ ksysguard --help mentions "Optional worksheet files to load".
I hope that somewhere there is better documentation than I can find
from the online KDE Help Center, which seems to have been last updated
6 years ago.
By scouting around some more I find that this is KDE version 3.4.3.
Somehow the use of KDE applets is not being very intuitive to me.
