Product Description:

CPU History is a minimalist way to graph CPU usage over time. It's magnitudes more lightweight than Activity Monitor, since it doesn't try to monitor network, process, or disk activity. You can customize graph update frequency, choose display colors, and change the bar width in the graph. An optional floating graph can be turned on as well.

Replaced LoadInDock - Version: 1.1, 6/24/2008 04:09PM PST

I've used the great LoadInDock for ages and when I found this I was sceptic it would be better. I compared CPU usage, memory footprint and leaks between the two. CPU History has a 2 Mb larger memory usage, but uses less CPU and has far fewer leaks. So this is now my CPU usage viewer in the dock.
