    Default Task Manager for the iPhone?

    I've been experiencing a lot of lag in past week or two on my iPhone. Is there a way to tell what processes or apps are lagging me down?

    Download the package 'top', ssh into your phone via terminal and type in top, this will allow you to view a list of the processes that are running.

    A list of processes won't do me any good unless there is also a notation of how much memory or CPU that each is using. Does it list that?

    Hmm... I can't find terminal in Cydia or Installer. Does anyone have a source for it?

    Found it. Installer was just being a ******** again.

    Well, I didn't find anything that was hogging resources, so WTF?

    Ever since upgrading to 2.* a few weeks ago, my phone has been lagging and that just sucks.

    I have two iPhones side by side, both 8gb.

    I stuck both in iTunes and reformatted on Pwned 2.1.

    I removed them and started modding each one with the same items from Cydia. I did open SSH, iLog, Snapture, and a variety of other items with NO lag whatsoever. Both phones were hauling azz........ THEN I installed winterboard..... both phones nearly came to a standstill running any themes. I installed apple battery, macbook keyboard, Mac UI, and apple backgrounds via Cydia and when I enabled each one in different configurations, they all slowed the phone to a crawl the same.

    I went into Cydia and uninstalled winterboad on ONE of the phones and left the other setup with themes. As I sit here one of the phones will open the camera app right up, the other takes as long as 8 seconds.

    Well that's the pits, b/c there is no way I'm removing Winterboard.
