I guess you/we should issue a wishlist on launchpad ;-) I guess everybody always wanted a clean & mean very high priority system monitor for those "what the heck is going on" moments. Turns out no operating system/kernel has knowledge of what files are touching the disks or what process is trashing the swap because they involve separate layers that don't have full awareness of each other. Linux is gaining some advanced tracing facilities and I guess this will soon be possible...
