- Briefly, this is somewhat like 'xload' for those familiar with the
- X Window System, but with Amiga specific features. The program is
- divided into two components: a 'virtual' device that monitors the
- use of the CPU (really the ready queue length), the Blitter, and
- memory, and the 'amyload' program which graphically displays this
- information.
-
- While I'm here, I might as well ask a couple of questions:
-
- 1) Why is there an 'added' state for tasks? Why isn't a created
- task in the 'ready' state? This burned me once
- when I was expecting a newly created task to preempt its
- lower priority creator.
-
- 2) When a SIMPLE_REFRESH window is moved without exposing previously
- obscured areas of the window, why doesn't Intuition simply copy
- the rectangular area to the new location, instead of sending
- REFRESHWINDOW events to the application?
-
- Thanks, and enjoy!
