What about the task manager in the Graham utilities? I have it on a
really old system. The task manager looks very much like the NT task
manager. I think I could get the information I need by starting, or
inducing some activity in each of the APL external processors (what I
understand as separate APL2 applications), and see which CPU activity
trace rises. However, I can't seem to install that part of the Graham
utilities and all the URLs I find for WarpSpeed are unresponsive.

But I'll go find Trevor's CPU monitor in the meantime.
