CPU Monitor Copyright (C) Moose O'Malley,
----------- September 1996.
CPU Monitor for Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, NT.
A utility to display graphical details of CPU usage and
the average CPU usage.
Developed using 16-bit Delphi.
It took me ages to work out how to benchmark the CPU in Windows.
It is fairly easy to make the CPU do some tasks and time how
long it takes.
But, how do you know how fast the CPU could do the tasks ?
How fast could it do them if no other tasks were running ?
How would your monitor program know the answers to these
questions when it may never have been run on the machine in
its virgin state ?
How do you know how fast the machine could run under Windows ?
It is like asking how fast your car can go, when you have never
put your foot down !!
Anyway, I thought about these questions all day, and finally
got the inspiration.
The program I am comparing Cpu Monitor to is the CPU monitor
in Dashboard 95.
Well, CPU Monitor seems to handle programs better (FTP, and
FTP server programs go straight to 100% under Dashboard, but
CPU Monitor seems to give better answers).
Also, CPU Monitor calculates average CPU usage as well !!
Also, if your machine is loading WORD or some big program,
which locks out Dashboard 95 from monitoring, then Dashboard
does not notice that it missed out on monitoring for several
seconds, and does not register any 100% utilisation.
This CPU Monitor program does !!
