CPU meter for Amigas?
« on: February 18, 2013, 01:05:11 AM »
Hi, is there any CPU meter software that will run on a stock 68000 WB3.1 Amiga?

I found TinyCPU on Aminet, and CPULoadII on Aminet, but both want you to install extra packages to get them to run.  They also seem to emphasize fancy graphics or appearances and need some of the add on packages because of this.

I just want something simple and small that will let me run a few CPU load tests without installing a whole bunch of extras on my hard drive.  Thanks.

I tried all the software suggested.

Idle requires OS3.5
AmiLoad wants me to install the whole MUI package so it can have a fancy GUI.
Scout is a massive (for an A500) 1MB installation package

...hard to believe no-one made a small, no-nonsense CPU meter for Amiga.

Like I said, I just need it for one or two tests of CPU load, so I don't want a big installation package.  Also, this is a modest machine, so no large installation packages for the same reason.

So I guess I'm still on the hunt.
