...in the context of knowing what's going on *inside* Linux.  You can't
infer the performance profile of the virtual machine from Linux numbers,
and you can't infer the performance profile of Linux processes by looking
at virtual machine status.

You can use a product such as ESALPS (Velocity Software) or OMEGAMON XE
for z/VM and Linux (IBM) to correlate the two pieces of information.

(I didn't want anyone thinking that Performance Toolkit gives meaningless
numbers.)
