But worth thinking about is the System Monitor app. It can put 6 customized
graphs in your panel. Then some nice extended info and System Monitor
itself is a right click from there.
Then there is cpufrequtils, which has a nice panel app. I used it to extend
my battery life by around 10% without any drop in performance that I have
noticed.
