Things worthy of note:
- it still sucks on a mac.
- To prove this, I can't tell which process is "on cpu", as you can on Linux top; I've therefore marked as "on cpu" all processes which have CPU time, just so you can see which ones are actually active at any given moment. This makes what's actually chucking cpu along a bit clearer.
- I still don't have iowait from top; nor do I have any realistic way of getting it, I don't think. I certainly can't think of a good way of getting this info.
- iostat sucks rocks. I can't tell read/s; I can only see total throughput.
- And it doesn't show me % utilisation; so I go back and calculate that from theoretical peak achieved during the run; which, of course, is the same thing the line graph does for the actual value, so it's a pointless exercise. Adds color, and totally misses the actual point of the thing. Go figure.
Still, it is slightly more explicative of what's actually meant to be going on, so I guess it's an improvement. Again, I don't stop this until I run it by hand, but you can see the login window kicking off the dock and the rest of it; my own applications that get run on launch do so after the finder, and are things like Skype when they appear in the logs, again around 45 seconds. The system's usable around that time.
So, without further ado...
(and the PNG version, of course)

Mr. Lightyear,
Why are you so rarely posting? Busy?
