I can see the CPU load on Gkrellm monitor, with "top" option installed with percentage option enabled. Maybe mileage varies according to the performance of your Mobo, FSB, CPU speed, Ram speed, ...? Celestia has not crashed on my system. I also run Stellarium (15-25% CPU Load) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
