Public bug reported:

When system monitor is opened in a small window, my cpu usage fluctuates
approx 05~17% with no other apps open. If I maximize the system monitor,
it shoots up to almost 50% and stays there. Reduce the monitor to a
small window and usage drops again. I don't see any processes eating the
cpu during this time, either. Can this be confirmed by anyone else?

I was told this was due to the system monitor using vector drawing for
the graphs and this is kicking the cpu usage up. If so, doesn't this
kinda defeat the whole purpose of the system monitor then? If its not
giving an accurate representation of the current state of the PC, then
what good is it? Also, the text smearing that occurs when scrolling down
the process list doesn't help things, either.
