One thing to be aware of is that Monosnap is a resource hog. If you don't have plenty of RAM and a fast CPU, Monosnap can bring your computer to a grinding halt. In this example, Monosnap is using just under 40% of the CPU.

In this example, the CPU is maxed out, and the RAM is nearly maxed out when running Monosnap.
