Andrew Morton's zc package
(http://www.zipworld.com.au/~akpm/linux/#zc) contains a tool called
cyclesoak that I like to use for measuring CPU usage. It's a simple
command line app. I like that because I can easily store its output
for comparing different runs. Useful for profiling sometimes.
I moded it to spit out average usage over a run upon exit. Hopefully
my mod doesn't invalidate the whole thing...
