I don't know how valid the results were. In fact, I'm still not getting user-space info from pmcstat -P but that partially may be user error. I'm seeing NMI's which are logged against a user trapframe but nothing shows up in my profiling output.. it could be attributing it to the library/libraries instead of the process.
