Breakdown between apps and OS, can be code running in priviledged processor mode vs non as well. Helps to know if a driver is going nuts or some web service. > Are they user-time and system-time at a guest OS?

Makes sense to me. In fact I'd prefer if there was prose in the MIB to explain all how and where we recommend they look for these items.
