When we've performed benchmark tests in a sandbox
environment, we've used timestamped 'proc' trace on the
processes that are running the 'interesting' code. This
gives us 'in' and 'out' trace events with timestamps, and
allows us to calculate the effective time used by individual
processes.

(Some timeslices may show up as unrealistically long. This
is probably due to the entire VM being scheduled out. One
may have to do multiple test runs to get a good estimate.)
