I will take a look at this. I was going to do something like this
soon to begin analyzing where the big consumers of time are. Should
be quite useful.
Will check into this after I fix a bug. I've indentified a problem
with the monitor code and working on a fix. Think it's what's
holding back booting of at least a couple OSes, perhaps FreeBSD
and Zealos.
