Virtually no Windows apps give you an accurate
indication and it's one of my major gripes.

On my Linux machines I have little scrolling graphs in the system tray for
CPU load and network bandwidth, which are handy for indicating whether I'm
CPU bound, network bound, or quiet waiting for some network event to happen.
I can see them at a glance without having to do anything (for example, I'm
typing this in an SSH session and seeing blips for the network traffic
caused by my keystrokes).

Windows Task Manager will give you a little systray icon, but only providing
4 bits of state (quartiles of the current CPU load). Perhaps there are some
apps that will show data as a time vs load graph in the tray?
