We could add a file into /proc like /proc/processes that contains once all process informations that some programs like top or ps can read only Once. It could save a lot of time in kernel mode scanning the process list for each process. later, a new version of ps or top could simply stat /proc/processes and if it exists uses it to give informations to the user. What do you think of this idea ?
