Keith Vetter 2013-03-08 : Here's a cpu activity widget that shows the amount of activity for each cpu on your machine.
It's Linux specific--it uses mpstat and /proc/cpuinfo.
It works by running mpstat which writes cpu usage information which a fileevent reads mpstats and updates the display. mpstat has a 1 second granularity. I wrote a version that read from /proc/stat directly but faster granularity wasn't worth the extra complexity.

looks like the widget is showing the CPU activity representing the free CPU usage with the fucsia color, then a fully used CPU is represented with a bar entirely white. (tested on Ubuntu)
