Andrew Morton's zc package
(http://www.zipworld.com.au/~akpm/linux/#zc) contains a tool called
cyclesoak that I like to use for measuring CPU usage.  It's a simple
command line app.  I like that because I can easily store its output
for comparing different runs.  Useful for profiling sometimes.

I moded it to spit out average usage over a run upon exit.  Hopefully
my mod doesn't invalidate the whole thing...
