What I need to be able to detect is when the CPU or CPUs of a system are idle
or no more than 10% busy. Back in my C++ days we used
NtQuerySystemInformation. Is there an easier way built into the .Net
Platform or C#?

Hi.

Not sure if the .NET platform has exactly what's needed; however, since you
are familiar with that function, you could certainly use P/Invoke (Interop)
to call it.

P/Invoke would require special security permissions.

I am working with Performance Counters at the moment but I need a way to
handle multiple CPUs
