I use a really cute piece of $20 shareware called Peek-a-Boo. It has only 3
priorities, though. Try before you buy and see if you don't get hooked... I like it
because I don't feel like I'm operating "blind" any more regarding MacOS processes.
It's somewhat like ps in unix. Since I upgraded to a G4 I don't adjust process
priorities the way I used to. There are so many CPU cycles available, I don't fret
about wasting them any more!
There is a competitor called something like "ProcessMonitor", but I can't find the URL
just now. It offers more control, but (IMO) a less attractive interface.
