Subject: measuring time spent in kernel
Date: 11 Apr 2002 16:54:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1018569297.15331.4.camel@shire.arnor.net> (raw)


"top" and similar tools don't seem to capture the time spent in kernel
which isn't on behalf of a user process.

I vaguely remember mention on this list of a tool that soaks up as many
cycles as it can get to obtain an accurate measurement of the true
system time.

Can some one give me a pointer?  I've had no luck with Google...  

thanks,
