The tool looks great, shows alot of information in one place, and conveniently is accessible through Dashboard; but it has one major bug - and that is starting a lsof process up which takes up 90% of my CPU on a Macbook Pro C2D. This process is used to determine the status of your system; but it should be opened and closed almost immediately.
Even if you close and reopen the widget, the 1st process is orphaned, and a 2nd lsof process is created, so you then have 2 processes taking up all your cpu resource. Major bug, and until it's fixed, this tool should not be used.

That's definitely NOT functioning normally (and the way it works on my Core Duo MacBook Pro).
Thanks, Marc.
