Let's expose it in a text file
and refresh it when user open it.
style like:
level1 level2
/proc/2863/ns/pid /proc/10611/ns/pid
/proc/4450/ns/pid
It provided fairly the same information as dir trees.
And easy to use too.

You're right, snapshot is not a good idea.
v2 will use a file /proc/pidns_hierarchy to show.
