I've been looking at the existing system tap scripts lately for that and 
most of them weren't aimed at that from what i could tell. I'm probably 
going to rework one of them to basically do what powertop does for disk 
io as i'm less interested in kb/sec reads and writes but more in 
read/write operations per minute per process.
