To check how much of your computer's processor is currently being used, go to the <gui>Resources</gui> tab and look at the <gui>CPU History</gui> chart. This tells you how much work the computer is currently doing.

Many computers have more than one processor (sometimes called <em>multi-core</em> systems). Each processor is shown separately on the chart. If you want, you can change the color used for each processor by clicking one of the colored blocks below the chart.

You can also change how rapidly the chart is updated (the update interval), and how the lines for each processor are displayed (e.g. as a stacked area chart). Change the relevant options by clicking <gui>System Monitor</gui>, then select <gui>Preferences</gui>, and then the <gui>Resources</gui> tab.

If the computer is doing a lot of work, it will use more processor time and more memory.

All of the programs running on your computer share CPU (processor) time and memory. If you run many programs at once, or if some programs are doing a lot of work, a higher percentage of both of these things will be used.

If the CPU usage is around 100%, this means that your computer is trying to do more work than it has the capacity for. This is usually OK, but it means that programs may slow down a little. Computers tend to use close to 100% of the CPU when they are doing computationally-intensive things like running games.

If the processor is running at 100% for a long time, this could make your computer annoyingly slow. In this case, you should <link xref="process-identify-hog">find out which program is using up so much CPU time</link>.
