If you want to look at the specific run of an application and
not the system as a whole or on a continual basis, then you
can use strace.

However, this can produce a great deal of data. So I wrote a
simple tool to scan through the strace output file and produce
some statistics. You can download it at:

The version that is on the website is currently a bit dated with
a few bugs in it. I should be posting the latest version in the
next couple of weeks.

Thanks!
