Task Manager Tip: Show Kernal Times
Heres a little tip to help you find the CPU Usage of your current applications. In the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del), click on the Performance Tab and it will display a graph of the CPU Usage History. The total CPU Usage is displayed in Green.
However, if you click on View->Show Kernel Times you can get information about the CPU Usage Time on the System (Kernel).
The Red Line displays Kernel CPU usage, while the Green Line displays total CPU usage.
This means that if your trying to figure out how much CPU your current program is using you take the Green (Total) CPU Usage - Red (System) CPU Usage = Current Application Usage.
Also if you Double Click on the Graph it will display in the full window.
Double Click the graph to go back to the previous view.
