Just reading Tom Erickson's recent blog on Chime and how to use it on 
more than the precanned scripts, very cool stuff. Thought it might of 
interest to those of us poking at desktop apps and looking at their 
performance.

Very easy to use it on the command line with any script one liners you 
use when taking a quick look at an apps performance on the desktop.

sum(arg0); }'
