+          Select this option to enable more accurate task and CPU time
+          accounting.  This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
+          kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
+          between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
+          small performance impact.  This also enables accounting of
+          stolen time on logically-partitioned systems running on
+          IBM POWER5-based machines.
