Mavericks Activity Monitor Missing Functionality

Question

I'm a developer who loves to keep track of application and system resources to be sure I'm making effective use of them both during the development process, but also to ensure that users of the software will have a good user experience and not be wasting RAM, CPU, etc, unnecessarily.  So the Activity Monitor is a fantastic tool to stay on top of everything at all times.  When I upgraded to Mavericks, I lost 3 key abilities that I use 24 hours/day and never shut off:
1) Ability to view memory usage in the Dock icon. I realize you can view it in the Memory tab on the main window, but the Dock icon allows you to display memory there, so you can use the main windows for network utilization.
2) Network utilization under Mountain Lion showed in very easy graphical representation the exact amount of KB/sec or MB/sec of network throughput as a line graph. Keeping that window open and tucking in a corner of one of your monitors allows for constant tracking of network bandwidth usage, so you always know how much bandwidth you're consuming at any given moment with a quick glance.
3) CPU utilization horizontal floating window. I realize they still have the vertical bar floating window representation, but where has the horizontal representation gone?  I preferred that view as it takes up less screen realestate.  This feature is gone in Mavericks.
With these 3 different views open and viewable at all times, you can keep close track of RAM, CPU, and network bandwidth.  And all 3 of these views are gone in Mavericks!  Can we please have them back?  These are serious usability and efficiency tools that we've come to rely upon.

Answer 1

Yes,   I have a similar question,  but particularly wanting the VERTICAL  CPU usage  FLOATING bar back.  (still relevant to the Horizontal CPU usage bar of course).      Here is the link to my post/question:
