Agreed. I can see how it ended up looking like this (fixing only perf 
report, then adding it to top, then to script), but at this stage it 
really calls for one helper that all three commands can utilize.

Very nice enhancement otherwise - might i suggest a 'perf top' hotkey 
as well to limit the output to certain CPUs only? :-)

Thanks,
