The following are examples of sh_cpudist.d.

This script traces the on-CPU time of Bourne shell functions and
prints a report containing distribution plots per function. Here it
traces the example program, Code/Shell/func_slow.sh.

The on-CPU times should that the "[" builtin (test) usually took between 
8 and 15 microseconds to execute, and was called over 500 times.

The exclusive function on-CPU times show that func_a() spent between
131 ms and 262 ms on-CPU.

The inclusive function on-CPU times show that both func_b() and func_c()
spent between 1.0 and 2.1 seconds on-CPU, and func_a() spent between 2.1
and 4.2 seconds on-CPU. 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
Notes/ALLexclusive_notes.txt and Notes/ALLinclusive_notes.txt for a
detailed explanation of exclusive vs inclusive function time.
