Performance Monitor Portable

This is the portable version of Performance Monitor, a simple-to-use application developed for monitoring CPU and RAM, along with disk and network utilization. It comes packed with a set of intuitive options.
Since installation is not a requirement, you can drop the program files in any location on the hard disk and just click the executable to run.
It is also possible to save Performance Monitor to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort and without prior installers.
An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and files are not behind on the HDD after program removal.
The interface is based on four small frames of different colors, each containing a graphical representation for the CPU, RAM, disk usage, respectively network usage activity. These can be independently moved to any position on the screen. Enabling pass-through mode locks them on the screen, and can be deactivated from the tray icon.
It is possible to backup and restore the panel positions, set Performance Monitor to automatically run at system startup, specify the refresh rate, priority and visibility levels, change the UI style, as well as make the frames stay on top of other windows. Plus, you can customize background colors and other attributes for each panel.
Performance Monitor runs on a minimal amount of CPU and RAM, so it does not burden the computer's overall performance. No error dialogs were shown in our testing, and the app did not hang or crash. We haven't experienced any issues. Help documentation is available.
All in all, Performance Monitor comes in handy to all users who want to seamlessly monitor CPU, RAM, disk and network usage activity on their computers.
