Which of the monitors do you use? The monitor which runs in the desktop, I 
guess. There is one to run in the toolbar, and the resources tab in the 
system->about this system (desktop again) takes little CPU and can be tamed more 
by using longer sample intervals.

Even on an old 2.5GHz Celeron with both the toolbar and "About the system" 
running it only take a few percent of the CPU on a totally dumb video, Sis 
on-board on a Shuttle, no visible impact.
