WHAT IS CONKY? WHAT IS CONKY?

Conky can show lots of info about your system, including: your root desktop or in it's own window. Conky has many built-in
objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts,

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in
Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail and Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail,
$top objects are quite costly in comparison to the rest of Conky. $top, and $graph objects are quite costly in comparison to the rest of Conky.
If you do use them, please do not complain about memory or CPU usage, If you do use them, please do not complain about memory or CPU usage,
because you will simply be ignored. unless you think something is going seriously wrong (mem leak, et cetera).
With that out of the way, if you have a better way of doing something,
please submit a patch for Conky. I know I am certainly not the world's
best programmer, and I still have a lot to learn.
