You can customize performance meter display, making your selections from its context menu (see right). Amongst the items that can be displayed or hidden are:
CPU Graph CPU Use Disk Use RAM Use Free System RAM FX CPU use There are also options to display CPU utilization with all cores or one core fully utilized, or longest block is realtime (worst case scenario). The last of these can help diagnose problematic real-time plug-ins. To sort the Performance Meter track list, click on any column heading. It can also be docked or undocked.
Note: The RT ("Real Time") CPU meter measures the amount of CPU time used by the single audio thread
servicing the sound device. It reflects only the CPU time used by one core, and gives you an indication of how much leeway you have in processing. With anticipative FX enabled (and few tracks record armed), RT CPU should be pretty low, as most things should be done asynchronously, allowing the real time thread to quickly put things together.
