+          bootchartd is commonly used to profile the boot process
+          for the purpose of speeding it up. In this case, it is started
+          by the kernel as the init process. This is configured by adding
+          the init=/sbin/bootchartd option to the kernel command line.

+          It can also be used to monitor the resource usage of a specific
+          application or the running system in general. In this case,
+          bootchartd is started interactively by running bootchartd start
+          and stopped using bootchartd stop.
