Description Mike Landis 2013-11-21 19:16:03 UTC
Description of problem:
gnome-system-monitor allows room for nine CPUs and provides horizontal and vertical scroll bars to access the rest, but given that CPU usage is listed next to CPU identifier, it would be much nicer if all CPUs were visible at once; even better if CPUs were sortable by level of activity. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.28.0

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open gnome-system-monitor
2. select the resource tab
3.

Actual results:
nine CPUs show activity percentages

Expected results:
would be better if:
1) all CPUs activity percentages were visible at once;
2) CPUs were sortable by level of activity;
3) Memory and swap history is very often a flat line, not offering any more insight than a single number might provide.  It would be nice if that panel could be 'iconized' to a 'register' or two, thereby leaving more space for other reporting elements.

Additional info:
My machine has 2 CPUs with 16 cores each and room for two more CPUs, so there are potentially 64 cores to show activity for.
