+ help
+ Select this option to enable more accurate task and CPU time
+ accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
+ kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
+ between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
+ small performance impact. This also enables accounting of
+ stolen time on logically-partitioned systems running on
+ IBM POWER5-based machines.
