I swear for menumeters (versiontracker.com) in that case, they have meters for cpu load, memory usage and ethernet load in the menu bar - so u see all thus with a glance - especially the cpu meter is the corner on my crt what's nearly worn off by watching ;-) - nice if u can see why and what slows the box down...I'm also confused as to why some say the swap file can be placed in a
partition as small as less than 1 GB while others swear it grows and
needs as much as 10GB. Also, when you check memory usage in the Process
Viewer, why is VM something like 3.5 GB? Does that mean that that much
of the startup volume is being used as Virtual Memory? That would also
explain why so little room is left on the startup volume I guess.
Yep. I couldn't figure out what was going on for the longest time, but after googling around I discovered System Events grows without bound if you have any folder actions. Took those out and now it's all good. There's a few other programs that grow indefinitely. Use the process viewer and select the memory column to see what the big hogs are.
