Program to monitor another program

Question

Is it possible to monitor one program from/using another program.

Say, I want to monitor the responsiveness of a program or how much memory/cpu that process in using when doing a particular job. Is this possible?

I am not talking about monitoring task manager. I was looking for something more sophisticated method that could identify , what process or what subsystem is causing the ir-responsiveness for that program etc etc.

OS: Windows 7.

And how does PE help doing what the OP asked? – Tamara Wijsman Apr 20 '12 at 12:02
