<title>Is it normal for my computer to be using this much CPU or memory?</title>
- <comment>

- <p>Explain when it is normaly for a computer to use lots of CPU and/or memory, and when it isn't. If a
process has hung or is using too many resources, you can kill it.</p>
- </comment>
+ <p> There are certain tasks which require more processing time or memory. This may include playing
video (in a media player or in your web browser), playing a graphics-intensive game, burning a CD or DVD, or
other complex tasks. Another possibility is that there are simply too many processes running; a cumulative
effect may be just as taxing as a single culprit. For example, you may have several browser windows open,
each full of tabs with loaded web pages. Keeping these tabs ready to spring open at a moment's notice
requires extra memory. Yet another issue might be that a process has frozen or continues to run after an
application has closed.</p>
- <p>Short introductory text...</p>
+<p>You can try to identify these resource-heavy processes in the <gui>Processes</gui> tab of <app>System
Monitor</app>. Using the buttons across the top of the process list, you can sort by <gui>% CPU</gui> or
<gui>Memory</gui> to identify the worst offenders. To toggle between ascending and descending sorting, click
the button again. If you find a process which seems to be using a lot of CPU or memory, you can right click
on it to bring up a menu which allows you to end it.</p>
+
+<note><p>The right-click menu for a process contains <gui>Stop Process</gui>, <gui>End Process</gui>, and
<gui>Kill Process</gui>. <gui>Stop Process</gui> means to pause the process temporarily. It can be resumed
with <gui>Continue Process</gui>. <gui>End Process</gui> tries to end the process as the programmer intended,
using the built in "quit" or "exit" function. <gui>Kill Process</gui> forces the process to close
immediately, and should be used only if <gui>End Process</gui> does not work.</p></note>
