"top" and similar tools don't seem to capture the time spent in kernel
which isn't on behalf of a user process.
I vaguely remember mention on this list of a tool that soaks up as many
cycles as it can get to obtain an accurate measurement of the true
system time.
Can some one give me a pointer? I've had no luck with Google...
thanks,

You may want to try LTT:

It will give this sort of information, among many other things,
and it doesn't soak up any cycles.
