WindowServer is the process that controls GUI windows.  Running 
activity monitor itself will slow your system; best to only run 
temporarily to track down a problem.  WindowServer has to run as part 
of the GUI.

If you want to monitor your processes in a more benign way, launch 
Terminal and type in "top". Or first type "man top" to get the help 
screen that describes this command.
