Performance

Overview

  • For a general overview use Activity Monitor

  • For an extension in the menubar use Better Menubar from the App Store

Analyse cpu, mem and sys internals

  • Use good old top

Analyse disk / filesystem

  • To use iotop you need to disable system Integrity protection (one can configure it to only allow dtrace, see forensics section)

  • fs_usage shows filesystem activity in a continuosly updated list
