Very nice addition for any Mac geek. I find it really useful to be able to monitor my system using these meters. Shows me instantly when anything weird is happening. And this particular implementation looks better and is more customisable than others I have tried. Nice work!

iStat Menus ReviewPretty and functional, but quite resource intensive - Version: 2.0, 10/13/2009 09:18PM PST

Yes, this is a great set of widgets, but 2.0 still needs some work...

Consistently uses almost 10% of my CPU time and seems to cause SystemUIServer to use quite a bit of memory...

I uninstalled it today from my Mini and SystemUIServer dropped from 2.6GB Real Memory (per Activity Monitor) to less than 200MB Real Memory... without a restart.

For now I've turned off all but 3 of the widgets and am hopeful that the developer will tune the application so that it uses fewer resources...
