Hello 

PyTimeChart is another wonderful tool that complements 
Ftrace/trace-cmd/KernelShark. [1] The systemd supporters would be keenly 
wise if they added pytimechart to Gentoo, so those (systemd) reticent to 
change, can actually see just how wonderful systemd is Here in
slide (26) we see "intel" extolling systemd. If Intel thinks systemd
is wonderful, then it must be wonderful. (?) [2] as shown in the paper
"Elcell_tardy.pdf".


PyTimeChart is also wonderful in that it provides a graphical way to 
spot problems quickly. Most major (linux) distros have both PyTimeChart
and Ftrace/trace-cmd/KernelShark. Together folks use PyTimeChart to
monitor and identify low-level or low-level-application-interaction
problems, and then use Ftrace/trace-cmd/KernelShark for fine grain
filtering, collection and analysis of those low-level-application-interaction
issues.

I have not opened a bug requesting PyTimeChart.

hth,
James
