Looks pretty nice. A couple things to thing about.
1. The script would obviously be improved if it was done all in perl
instead of forking a ton of processes. But that would require one of
use to know perl :) It looks pretty nice, though.
2. We can be smarter about how we log the time to start out with.
Instead of just taking the output that `time' gives, it would be
better if there was a value just in seconds. You can do this by using
the TIMEFORMAT variable in bash or by doing some external timing like
I did before with perl.
Consider this.
$ export TIMEFORMAT=$'\ntime %3R sec'
$ time { sleep 2; echo foo; }
foo
time 2.013 sec
Does anyone really care how much time the cpu spent on it anyway? All
we care about is how long we had to wait or not.
