First of all, I'm a newbie. But I'm interested in your subject.
What about trying 'pstree'
$ pstree -p
<example output>
|--events/0(3)--|-aio/0(44)
|-kacpid(5)
|-kblockd/0(31)
|-khelper(4)
|-pdflush(41)
|-pdflush(42)
<example output>
Then take the pid's and use top to monitor them.
$ top -p3,44,5,31,4,41,42
I don't know if the subtrees will show you anything, but maybe worth a try.
