Hi Con,
I have a improved version of timertop and a C timertop user space
instead of perl, much improved. Tested against your last patch for
2.6.15-rc1.
The kernel patch I am sending in this email and the C utility I will
release very soon and post here. This new version of the patch is not
compatible with the perl script.
BTW I am testing the dyn-tick and it seems that the calculations get
much better this time around.

Thanks for the support,
