+profiling/timeout.stp - Show Processes Doing Polling Operations
+keywords: profiling
+
+ The timeout.stp script is based on a blog entry
+ (http://udrepper.livejournal.com/19041.html) mentioning a need for a
+ tool to help developers find applications that are polling. The
+ timeout.stp script monitors systemcall used for polling and records
+ the systemcalls that timed out rather than returned because some
+ action occurred. The script updates the screen once a second with the
+ top twenty processes.
