Hi everyone,

Being little sick and having problems with sleeping, I wasn't able to do
much regarding the test. Above all, I'm having different readings using
some of the tools which have been mentioned here. I'm not sure what to do?
each tool is having different readings than the other. I'm mainly using
LXTask and GNOME System Monitor. Each one is showing different process for
example LXTask is showing 3 process for Chromium while GNOME System Monitor
is showing 5. Firefox as always will be shown as one process or two
sometimes (plugin-container).

I think there must be a better efficient tool to do this benchmark. I don't
think it should be done manually.

I'll keep looking ...

Thanks!

P.S.
Just thought to update you about that.
