Perfkit development has been continuing steadily. It's still just a toy of course; but I've gotten enough interest from people where this is a project I'd like to continue hacking on. I just added a gdk event source today that helps track down when your program is doing tons of updates. Once I get the data selection in place, you'll be able to dive in and explore the events. Maybe if I get some time during Thanksgiving vacation I can add that.

It’s looking good, keep up the good work!
This looks incredibly useful!
This is very nice and useful. How many beers does it take to bribe you into fixing up the performance issues related to drawing in the gnome-system-monitor?
I’d like to thank you for the TL;DR in README/HACKING. I’ve got it running, although I’m not quite sure what to do with it.
I would be interested in seeing memory usage growth over time for a Python process (running the test suite); it’s a bit complicated having to specify the working directory (and getting complaints about being unable to _create_ it, since it already exists) and command line, and then not being able to see the stdout/stderr anywhere.
Is there an explanation of what those coloured lines mean in the Memory instrument?
wow you should definitely get involved in UI design for music players in on Gnome
@Marius All valid concerns/comments. Just not there yet
@John
I need to fix a couple annoying bugs in my UberGraph code before I’m comfortable fixing the graphing code in gnome-system-monitor.
Once that is done, however, it should be a strait forward patch.
Excuse me, but what is the name of the GTK theme shown in the screenshot?

Hi. I’ll never use the program but it is fantastic that you have put some genuine thought into the interface. It does look good even if it is incomplete. Thanks for designing and not just programming
Having a (collapsible) color-code legend in the first column would indeed be nice.
