Parent article: GNOME 3.0 released

the library that powers the cpu/memory usage applet in gnome2 (libgtop) received introspection love at the end of the 3.0 cycle, in full UI freeze - so no extensions were written. now it's possible to use from the Shell extension mechanism, and I fully expect a CPU/Memory/I/O/Network usage extension to be written before 3.2 is out.

you could even contribute to it; if you need assets, I'm pretty sure the gnome-design and art teams will be glad to help you figuring out a sane and pretty way to display the sampled data.

How to display CPU, memory and IO load data

Since I wrote this I'm of course biased, but this is how I like to have my CPU, memory usage and IO load displayed:

Still no GNOME 3 port, but when GNOME 3 goes into Debian Testing I intend to do it.
