+perf is a userspace interface to the kernel's perf events. Performance
+counters are CPU hardware registers that count hardware events such as
+instructions executed, cache-misses suffered, or branches mispredicted. They
+form a basis for profiling applications to trace dynamic control flow and
+identify hotspots.
+
+Please note that this SBo doesn't have any sources in the DOWNLOAD
+setting, as the sources are already part of a full slackware install.
+
+Optional dependencies: audit, numactl
+Another optional dependency is libunwind, but it's unsupported for now
+since it requires elfutils which we don't have yet on SBO.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
