Since the typical GPU can spin the beachball with 3 pipelines tied
behind its back, and they had it as far back at the first version
on NeXT on a 68020, you might as well begrudge the CPU cycles they
waste making the dock around said activity monitor transparent.

Speaking of which, I hate how clicking on the activity monitor's
dock icon doesn't open the activity monitor. I guess human interface
guidelines are for OTHER people.
