The application responsiveness of your system is displayed in the status panel. The values represent the highest time interval in which a running application (process) responded to a hardware signal.

Your application responsiveness is used as a measurement for the real-time processing capabilities of your system as well as a measurement of the general responsiveness of a system. If you wish to use your system for a task which requires real-time processing such as live audio, your system should be considered suitable only if highest application responsiveness is low and no latency spikes appear.

This value also says something about the general responsiveness of your system. Unlike kernel responsiveness, this value may be influenced by other running processes and services in the system.

If WhySoSlow tells you that your application responsiveness is poor, you may want to use our product LatencyMon to further investigate the problem.
