hi
i have noticed an excessive cpu consume of activity monitor

the process "activity monitor" uses always at least 10% or 15% of my cpu , when my imac is idle
sometime jump to 40% of my cpu

outside activity monitor , all the processes are around 0.4% or 0.9% of cpu

only i set refresh every 5 seconds i get a lower cpu consume

and is there an alternative free?

may i ask you if you have noticed the same issues? i mean refresh every 5 seconds activity monitor is unless , i use every second or every 2 seconds


how does consume your activity monitor set up to refresh every second?
thanks
