yeah... gnome-system-monitor is strangely resource intensive for the
simple job it does.

I actually quit using it because in the same ammount of time it took for
the thing to open and let me do something useful (like killing a
process) I could open a terminal, read the appropriate man page, then
issue the command :)

maybe a little exaggerated, but that program is seriously a hog.
