  Description : A tool for developers to visualize system latencies

LatencyTOP is a Linux tool for software developers (both kernel and
userspace), aimed at identifying where system latency occurs, and what
kind of operation/action is causing the latency to happen. By identifying
this, developers can then change the code to avoid the worst latency
hiccups.

Or just visualize system latencies.

I'd even suggest:

system latencies visualization tool

for developers does not seem really relevant here.

  are fairly similar in purpose and have the same upstream author.

 I wonder if this tool will ben any useful, considering it requires a
 patched kernel.

Patches have already been included in 2.6.25, so it may require enabling an 
kernel config option, but will not require patching the kernel.

This doesn't scan right to me.  system latency visualization tool would be
ok, but I think tool for system latency visualization or tool for
visualizing system latencies would be better.

 for developers does not seem really relevant here.

If it's a tool targeted at developers, I don't think it's inappropriate to
mention in the short description (space allowing).
