Which is better?

I know load-applet slows down your OS, but does cpumem-applet do the same?

cpumem-applet didn't work at all for me.
but you may want to try both of them and decide for yourself which one suits you more

Hmm, any info you can share about cpumem-applet not working for you?

The cpumem-applet and load-applet regarding to cpu/mem bars at status-area are identical, so they either both work, nor neither works... So far I've heard 0 reports of cpumem-applet not working.

If you find a way to reproduce, file a bug at cpumem-applet at bugs.maemo.org

Heh, cpumem-applet is very minimalistic and wastes very very little cpu. It once a second updates its tiny icon, and thats it. I'm not aware of cpumem-applet causing any slowing down, other than making you actually realize when the device is CPU bound (by some other app).

first i had load-applet installed.
wanted to try cpumem, uninstalled load-applet and installed cpumem.
even after some reboots it didn't show up in the status-bar as it should?!
(don't know if it was under PR1.0 or PR1.1... i will try it again and report! maybe it was just some weird thing going on in 1.0 ^^)

edit: works now. no differences for me. it's just the same. (the screenshot and video capture capabilities make no difference in cpu usage at all. just for users who want a lightweight app (regarding the rootfs usage ^^).)

will try the maemo5-load-applet.

Both are the same when come to display cpu and memory usage. The only difference between both apart from displaying usage is the the load applet has a screenshot and video cast feature built in. You'll see the cpumem-applet is the strip down version of the original load applet if you look at the details in application manager

This sounds like you installed version 0.0.1 from devel which didn't load correctly, but extras-devel stuff by definition is not ready. 0.0.3 (in extras now) passed with flying colors the testing QA and there has not been a need to release newer version as nothing is broken.
