       | 
       | Is there a mac equivalent to process explorer?

         | Same. I was looking for an affordable 5k 32" monitor that can
         | actually do 2X scaling properly. A neat tool, but not what "Mac
         | Monitor" brings to mind for me.

         | The github at least is linked at the articles end and has this:

           | click on Mac Monitor at the bottom of the page under Products
           | and Solutions it takes you to the actual page for the tool
           | and that page has the big red download button everyone is
           | talking about..

       | Initially the blog post mentions all kind of analysis that can be
       | done including performance but later on it is mostly about
       | security/threat analysis. Can I use this to find why my programs
       | have such different execution times on two different machines
       | with practically the same hardware? One is stock macOS the other
       | corporate managed.
