Added CPU Total to Resources panel (3.68 KB, patch)
2016-06-22 13:55 UTC, Bardi 		none Details | Review

Description Bardi 2016-06-22 13:55:07 UTC 
With one CPU, the Resource Panel graph displays the total cpu usage. With
two it is easy to guess the total, but as the number of CPUs grows, the actual
CPU usage is difficult to estimate. An additional line for the TOTAL cpu usage
allows the user to see the actual state of their CPU at a glance.

Added CPU Total to Resources panel

With one CPU, the Resource Panel graph displays the total cpu usage. With
two it is easy to guess the total, but as the number of CPUs grows, the actual
CPU usage is difficult to estimate. An additional line for the TOTAL cpu usage
allows the user to see the actual state of their CPU at a glance.

When there is more than 1 CPU, an 'extra' cpu is added to the cpu count. This
pseudo cpu is used to store the total cpu usage. Since it looks like any other
CPU, all the settings, styling and graphing work as usual.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this issue. Indeed, with several cores the current total cpu usage is hard to figure out, but I don't like adding yet another line. Are you interested in historical total CPU usage, or just momentary values? In case of the latter, we might get away with adding the current CPU usage on the chart as a text or at the right of the chart as a "levelbar". What do you think?
