Lots of people have already mentioned systemprofiler, so I'll just list some other commands I'd recommend for 'looking around' a Mac OS X system. Top -u -s5 My favorite command for seeing what's going on. Shows processes sorted by CPU usage, updated every 5 seconds (I find the default of 1 second to be too fast), as well as load average, physical & VM stats, etc. Replace -u with -orsize to. Thanks but I don't have filevault switched on. Quitting Mail.app reduces the accountsd CPU usage back down to 0.1%. I generally find Mail.app's performance to be an issue so perhaps its time to ditch it. – codecowboy Apr 30 '15 at 9:38. By default Process Explorer displays updated activity every two seconds (which can be modified). Viewing the CPU graph in System Information mode, you can easily mouse over the spikes which will display the process name, it's PID (Process Identifier), the CPU usage (percent) and the exact time of. Nice and renice don't limit the percentage of the CPU available to a given application per se, they do however allow to change the scheduling priority, or in other words how much of the CPU time a process will get. This is all relative to the CPU load on your system, so if the system is under utilised, you most likely won't see any difference.

Hey guys. How can I see which process takes how much COU resources?
I’m using System status - CPU, RAM, Usage real-time von Ta Phuoc Hai https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/system-status-cpu-ram-usage-real-time/id1159562421?mt=8 Which shows me like 15-20% usage and after some time it’s like 5-10%. Seems like something is running on my iPhone X or so causing this or is it normal? I noticed this when I noted that the battery drain was more than usual. Is there any tool or Programm to see on the iPhone what performing what and for what usage?
I remember once reading that efficient system administrators are lazy people. The reason is not that they’re not doing their job or wasting their time – it is mostly because they have automated a good deal of their routine tasks. Thus, they don’t have to babysit their servers and can use their time to learn new technologies and always stay at the top of their game.
Part of automating your tasks, is learning how to get a script do what you would have to do yourself otherwise. Continually adding commands to your own knowledge base is just as important.
For that reason, in this article we will share a trick to find out, which processes are consuming lots of Memory and CPU utilization in Linux.
That said, let’s dive in and get started.
Check Top Processes sorted by RAM or CPU Usage in Linux
The following command will show the list of top processes ordered by RAM and CPU use in descendant form (remove the pipeline and head if you want to see the full list):
Sample Output
Brief explanation of above options used in above command.
The
-o (or –format) option of ps allows you to specify the output format. A favorite of mine is to show the processes’ PIDs (pid), PPIDs (pid), the name of the executable file associated with the process (cmd), and the RAM and CPU utilization (%mem and %cpu , respectively).
Additionally, I use
--sort to sort by either %mem or %cpu . By default, the output will be sorted in ascendant form, but personally I prefer to reverse that order by adding a minus sign in front of the sort criteria.
To add other fields to the output, or change the sort criteria, refer to the OUTPUT FORMAT CONTROL section in the man page of
ps command.
