On my systems, I have measured the elapsed and total CPU utilization for various loads with and without Glance running. I have never been able to measure a significant difference overall (within the measurement deviation - way less than 1%). Certainly, Glance itself can use a lot of CPU when screens are cycled frequently or alot of filtering is being done. Also, the Measurement Interface can use a significant share of CPU when some "do-nothing" process is invoked (like a copy to $null). I have not been able to test large multi-processor systems nor systems with hundreds of users so as always "your milage may vary". -- [log in to unmask] Roseville, CA
