herdstat can do this. ciaranm poked me the other day to see if I could |
| 11 |
implement a cache for it (which I mostly finished last night), so hopefully |
| 12 |
that'll be in a release soon. |

I think it's a good idea. Regarding the compilation script, there's |
| 28 |
already-written code in herdstat that could handle this, but most likely that's |
| 29 |
not an option (I can hear the "C++ sucks" flames already ;p). |
