Bug Description
It would be useful if Mixxx provided a way to add a CPU usage widget to the interface.
* Virtual DJ provides a CPU usage widget.
* Serato Itch also provides a CPU usage widget.
The rationale here is that compressing, recording to disk, and manipulating live audio streams is fairly cycle-intensive. A CPU meter would allow any potential CPU usage problems to be uncovered before they interfere with your performance or recording.
Current implementations (in VDJ, for example) use a green coloured bar that changes to red as it grows in length inside a rectangular boundary to indicate usage. This could be extended to multi-core/smp systems by providing additional bars for CPU0/CPU1/CPU2, etc, or save screen real estate with a combined/averaged usage meter. Taking the "saving space" idea further, a small text output label would be more than sufficient, perhaps changing the text colour as load increases.

This would be a nice touch for 1.12.
