Paris Performance is a cool CPU performance monitor with the same interface as the Ensoniq Paris Paris Performance is a cool CPU performance monitor with the same interface as the Ensoniq Paris.
Paris Performance (PP) is a CPU performance meter, designed with the same GUI (graphical user interface) as the Ensoniq PARIS Digital Audio Workstation.
PP was developed due to the fact that the PARIS system can not be monitored by normal Windows CPU performance tracking utilities, due to fast video refresh rate; PP uses a special technique of getting a system performance bassline, and then extrapolating the utilization. While not quite as accurate as PPs normal mode, this DOES work in conjunction with the PARIS.

Perfping is a tool that allows you to ping a host continuously or with a single
ping using different data volumes.
Performance Pinging can give an estimate on the performance of the route to your host.
You can change the ping intervall from 2 to 30 seconds using various timeouts. The timeout is always smaller than the pinging interval. Results are written to log window and log file if so chosen. Unreachable hosts have a value of 0 ms.
The analysis function sends various pings, 10 each of 10 bytes, 100 bytes, 500 bytes, 1 kbytes, 10 kbytes, 50 kybytes and 64 kbytes. The round trip times are shown with the total and average times.
Enhancements:
- added the file hostfile.txt that holds the last 10 pinged addresses
