I think polling the Linux guest for process data, while a time-honored tradition, isn't a real winner. Of much more interest is a process table maintained by Linux in shared memory; memory that is shared with the CP monitor. By adjusting the sample rate, you get a fuzzier or more detailed picture of processes and their states. And no matter how often you check, there's no additional [Linux] CPU required to make the check.
