The following are examples of sh_cputime.d.
This script traces the on-CPU time of Bourne shell functions and
prints a report. Here it traces the example program, Code/Shell/func_slow.sh.

In total, three functions were called, one builtin and one command.
The exclusive function on-CPU times show that func_a() spent around 268.4 ms
on-CPU, func_b() spent 670.3 ms, and func_c() spent 1259 ms. This exclusive
times excludes time spent in other functions.
The inclusive function on-CPU times show that func_c() spent around 1.3
seconds on-CPU, func_b() spent around 1.9 seconds, and func_a() spent around
2.2 seconds. This inclusive time includes the time spent in other functions
called, and since func_a() called func_b() which called func_c(), these
times make sense.
These on-CPU times are the time the thread spent running on a CPU, from when
the function began to when it completed. This does not include time
spent off-CPU time such as sleeping for I/O or waiting for scheduling.
On-CPU times are useful for showing who is causing the CPUs to be busy.
See Notes/ALLoncpu_notes.txt for more details. Also see
detailed explanation of exclusive vs inclusive function time.
If you study the func_slow.sh program alongside the above output, the numbers
should make sense.

The output showed that the most CPU time was spent in the firefox-bin command,
taking 1.9 seconds of on-CPU time.
