Yawffer is a free tool for Windows which keeps an eye on the computer and monitors current CPU usage, amount of data currently transferring in the system and available memory. Data is displayed as strings of text above all windows, takes very small amount of screen space and can be located in any place on the screen. For each showing you can define font and color which will be located on top of all applications.
There are few settings like the display type either in horizontal or vertical manner and also the brightness of the application and the hot key to open it.

[...] Windows only: Oddly named system utility Yawffer can freeze an out-of-control process in place, letting you shut down other running applications or save your work. Yawffer is actually meant to be a system monitoring tool, but it frankly doesn’t do that terribly well-the killer feature is found by right-clicking on the tray icon and choosing Freeze a Process from the menu, at which point you can click on a process in the list and Freeze it. If you want to test this feature out for yourself but don’t have a problem app at the moment, you can use Max CPU to peg your processor at 100%, and then freeze the process using Yawffer, which will immediately drop your CPU usage back to normal levels.
