if my disks start spinning wildly i wanna know whats causing it

[Evan]

For me it's mostly mlocate's updatedb

I often find that if you sort by cpu-usage then the active program will
float near the top even though it isn't using more than a fraction of a
percent of cpu (given that most of it's activity is IO).

I agree it would be nice though - maybe create a blueprint on launchpad, or
upstream with gnome?
