Gears worker threads, performance measuring

[Nikolai Onken]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way to determine the CPU and memory
usage of a worker thread at any given time.
Usually I would do something like "ps aux|grep firefox" to determine
those statistics for firefox for example, but those obviously don't
let me see what part is taken by the worker threads.
If this is not currently possible, would it be something worth
considering to implement?

It's a good idea for something to consider adding. Gears workers are
implemented as OS threads. There may be powertool diagnostics for some
operating systems that let you see the percentage of CPU used by
individual threads ... I'm not sure.

Hi Aaron,

thanks for your prompt reply! Would this be something I'd have to add
to a tracker?
I'm not familiar with the google code proposal process, if you can
point out where I can file a request I will file asap :)
