Yeah, it's got the same kind of graph that pulse has.

Pegasus certainly uses something... I had a demo version of that that
was apparently meant for OS/2 2.1, and running it under Warp locked the
system up good. "hmmm", I said, "Look at that... The system's not busy
at all!"

True. I think I'll just stick with the more realistic "Wow, this thing
is crawling, it must be busy" method.
