Does Task Manager require all the networking HUD that it drags in?

It's handy to be able to pop up task Manager to check CPU, memory usage,
spawn utilities, etc. when I am debugging my XPE target, but it sure seems
to have a large footprint, dragging in lots of networking stuff that I don't
need. Is there a way to get a sort of "Task Manager Lite" to work on a
machine that doesn't require all the networking stuff?
 
Gereon,

There is no lite version of the Task Manager available for XPe off-the-shelf but you can make one.

You have a bunch of 3rd party tools available on the market, as well as command line freeware (check out www.sysinternals.com) for
monitoring CPU/memory usage, processes, threads, etc. But keep in mind that you will need to resolve at least static dependencies of
any tool anyway.

Also, you can disable some dynamic dependencies of the Task Manager (e.g., some performance counters, network) to remove some
functionality you may not need. But you will need to test it very much to make sure it is working properly at runtime.
Basically, you just need to turn off Autoresolve dependency feature of TD and add (resolve) only those components you need.
