<para><xref linkend="threadtimes"/> lists the top 20 processes currently taking up CPU time within a 5-second sample, along with the total number of CPU ticks made during the sample. The output of this script also notes the percentage of CPU time each process used, as well as whether that time was spent in kernel space or user space. </para>
<!--
<para>To run <xref linkend="threadtimes"/>, you need to use the <command>-g</command> option (i.e. <command>stap -g threadtimes.stp</command>). This is because the script contains embedded C.</para>-->
<para><xref linkend="threadtimesoutput"/> contains a 5-second sample of the output for <xref linkend="threadtimes"/>:</para>
