Description Ralf Jung 2019-06-20 17:02:58 UTC

I have 8 CPU cores, so even when some process goes wild and uses one of my cores for 100%, the bar in the system load viewer widget barely moves up (to 12.5%, to be more precise).  That makes the widget less helpful than it could be to detect the situation when there is a runaway process somewhere in the background.

The number of CPU cores we have installed in our systems is only going to grow, so this problem is only going to get worse.

One way to improve the situation here would be to offer, next to the "total CPU usage", also the option to show the CPU usage of the most-used core.  Then one could immediately see that *something* is using up a full core.

Is this still an issue or relevant with the new System Monitor applet in Plasma 5.19 and beyond?
