Nice!! :-)

Btw., it would be nice if the status line carried information about whether 
collection is 'frozen' or running, at a glance. A hint might also suggest how to 
unfreeze the session - in case someone pressed Ctrl-Z to suspend the perf top 
session ...

Also, there's now a GUI inconsistency with perf report: which will now exit on 
Ctrl-Z. It should probably print a warning in the status line instead, that 
freezing/unfreezing only works in 'perf top'.
