Sounds like a reasonable expectation.
I tested mainly:
perf report --cumulate -g graph,100,callee
to find the functions with a large amount of CPU time underneath. Then
examined the callgraph without --cumulate. But yeah - it'd be nice to be
able to do both in a single invocation.
Also, when callgraphs are displayed, the percentages are off (> 100%).
Namhyung probably needs to use he->stat_acc->period in a few places as
the denominator instead of he->period.
