"Peek-a-Boo is a utility to monitor and manipulate all running
processes. You can watch how much CPU time each process uses, adjust
processes’ priorities, and monitor process information.
Peek-a-Boo makes it easy to monitor resource usage. Memory information
takes the guesswork out of knowing when adding memory will improve
performance; and Peek-a-Boo’s graphical CPU interface makes it clear
when performance is CPU bound.
Peek-a-Boo makes it easy to notice processes that are using a
surprising -- even absurd -- amount of memory or CPU time. The logging
windows can be very helpful for detecting processes that may leak
memory over time. These features can be particularly useful to
developers and quality assurance departments as well as anyone who
simply wants to know what’s going on with the applications they are
running.
Peek-a-Boo makes it easy to perform process-specific operations such as
bringing an application to the front, hiding an application, or killing
a process. Obviously some of these features must be used with care, but
having many common “tools” at your fingertips makes Peek-a-Boo an even
more useful process-watching utility."
