From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: speed up /proc/*/statm top(1) reads all /proc/*/statm files but kernel threads will always have zeros. Print those zeroes directly without going through seq_put_decimal_ull(). Speed up reading /proc/2/statm (which is kthreadd) is like 3%. My system has more kernel threads than normal processes after booting KDE.
