Here, the terminal kitty does the right thing™ and creates a scope for every terminal window. However, just looking at the cgroup view, does not tell me what exactly it is that kitty-106668-0.scope is performing creating some CPU load.

If the processes with their arguments where listed as descendants of kitty-106668-0.scope, I would in many cases immediately get an idea what is running there and what it is doing. Right now, I have to zoom (via z) into the cgroup to see its processes.

BTW, thanks for below, it is IMHO currently the best tool for cgroup-based performance-metric analysis.
