>From 'perf stat --help' /-I -I msecs, --interval-print msecs Print count deltas every N milliseconds (minimum: 100ms) example: perf stat -I 1000 -e cycles -a sleep 5 This is also available via 'man perf-stat' So, yes, your observation is correct, those are deltas. - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-perf-users" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
