Post your torsmo/conky config file here!
Please don't post the default config included in DSL...
Strip the unnecassary comments out of your config before u post!
Oh, and only post the part after "TEXT"

My current config:

Code Sample

..or in dsl-n with cpufreqd, you can get more cpu parameters:

${color grey}Uptime:   $color $uptime

${color #ddd}CPU Temp: $color ${acpitemp} degC

${color grey}CPU Govn: $color ${execi 180 ~/.cpugov.sh}
${color grey}/dev/hda: $color ${execi 180 ~/.laptop_mode.sh}
${color green}$hr$color

.cpufreq.sh = cpufreq-info -mf | tr -d '\n'

.cpugov.sh = cpufreq-info -p | awk '{printf $3}'

.laptop_mode.sh = sudo /etc/init.d/laptop-mode status | awk '/drive state is/{printf $4}'

This probably belongs in an apps section, not tips/tricks.

I would like to see a screenshot along with the config

This is on the laptop so it isn't DSL. Fresh build of conky 1.5.1. Note the jwm at .75% in the conky shot is my own no-frills version; the default Vector version ran between 1% and 1.2%. My conky $color is yellowgreen (to match my current jwm theme which is "cool green" -- flat, no gradient, etc.).

I switched to conky.uci today cos of the more features like the cpugraph, so heres my new config:
Couldnt take a screenshot for some reason, gonna find out why tomorrow xD.

Why waste CPU cycles and RAM with all that? You get the same "picture" of things with load average.

You Should Know

Conky is generally very good on resources. That said, the more you try to make Conky do, the more resources it is going to consume.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail, $top, $font, 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, unless you think something's seriously wrong (mem leak, etc.).

@lucky13: i dont have any high CPU and mem usage, its all the same as with torsmo. while probably CPU will be used way more when more graphs have to be drawn, but i only got 1 ;)
