Summary:Methods and systems for determining memory usage ratings for system processes and providing for display are described. An example method may include determining, by a processor, a memory usage value for a process configured to run on a computing device over a time period, and the memory usage value is indicative of an amount of memory of the computing device that the process uses while running. The method may also include determining a memory usage rating for the process based on the memory usage value and a run time for the process. The memory usage rating for the process indicates an amount of memory the process uses over the time period and the run time indicates how long the process runs during the time period. The method may also include providing for display, by the processor, a representation of the memory usage rating of the process over the time period.
