My main complaint that any variation of 'cumulative' or 'cumulate' is
a tongue-twister to users. I certainly won't be able to remember it
and will have to call up the manpage every time I use it - which will
be very annoying. I'd probably not use the feature much.

I can remember it, mainly because it's such an unusual word :)
Agree that we could use something simpler/easier to remember.

My other user space projects have been keeping me busy. But still very
interested in this feature. Will test this patch series over the holidays.

Thanks in advance for your test and feedback! :)

Looks great! One of the features I'm missing compared to my earlier --sort inclusive series of patches is that, in the --children mode, I'd still like to see callchains (at least in --tui). Looks like --children and -G -s pid can't be used together in this implementation.
