That'll end up looking something like:

root@ivb-ep:/usr/src/linux-2.6# grep java /proc/sched_debug
            java  2714     18270.634925        89   120         0.000000         1.490023         0.000000 0 0 /user.slice/user-0.slice/session-2.scope
            java  2666     18643.629673         2   120         0.000000         0.063129         0.000000 0 0 /user.slice/user-0.slice/session-2.scope
            java  2676     18655.652878         3   120         0.000000         0.077127         0.000000 0 0 /user.slice/user-0.slice/session-2.scope
            java  2680     18655.683384         3   120         0.000000         0.082993         0.000000 0 0 /user.slice/user-0.slice/session-2.scope

which shows a 3 deep hierarchy. Clearly these people haven't the
faintest clue about the cost of what they're doing. This stuff ain't
free.
