You may want to try LTT:
http://www.opersys.com/LTT
It will give this sort of information, among many other things,
and it doesn't soak up any cycles.

"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,
