  Description     : Bootchart is a tool for performance analysis and visualization of the GNU/Linux boot process.

Bootchart is a tool for performance analysis and visualization of the
GNU/Linux boot process. Resource utilization and process information are
collected during the boot process and are later rendered in a PNG, SVG or
EPS encoded chart.
Bootchart provides a shell script to be run by the kernel in the init phase.
The script will run in background and collect process information, CPU
statistics and disk usage statistics from the /proc file system. The
performance data are stored in memory and are written to disk once the boot
process completes.
The boot log file is later processed using a Java application (or the web
form) which builds the process tree and renders a performance chart in
different formats.
