| Yep. I didn't try that, because I didn't want to see charts! However,
| yea, it gave no charts, & does provide a slider for interval. OK,

|
| Anyhow, I still say mine works fine at a 3 sec. interval! Right now...
|
| System Monitor Kernal Processor Usage... 20%'s.
| WinTop's Idle.......................................... 60%'s.
|
| That seems close enough!
UPDATE: While running avast! virus checker (very processor intensive),
System Monitor did sit on 100% Usage (no matter what interval was set),
& WinTop showed mostly single-digit idleness, but up to 13%. But that
STILL seems close enough!
