Comment 62 for bug 93847

System Monitor uses about 20% cpu on my machine. There is no way that this is necessary. This bug has been open since 2007 its now 2010. It makes ubuntu look crap, unprofessional and slow. Windows seems to do the same job only using only a fraction of the cpu time. All it needs to do is update a graph/list onces a second, I mean come on people this is not rocket science.

A system monitor is such a basic part of an OS. If you can't even get that right.....It's not a good look.
