MenuBall 2.3.1

MenuBall is an absolutely useless control panel that puts a bouncing ball in your menu bar. It wont slow down your Mac and it shouldnt crash (but use it at your own risk). Should the ball ever leave a mark in your menu bar, don’t panic: it is harmless, just switch to another application to have the menu bar redrawn properly.

Theres only one smart use for MenuBall: since the ball moves one step at each WaitNextEvent call, you can use it to monitor the system activity. If the ball stops, the Mac probably wont respond to user actions and may even be hung; if it moves slowly, the front application is being friendly to other processes and giving up a lot of processor time; if it moves fast, then the front application is eating most of the CPU time (and possibly wasting it).

If you can stand MenuBall for more than half an hour, youve earned it.
