The overhead percentage could be high in some cases, for instance with small, sub 100ms intervals. Use with caution.
example: 'perf stat -I 1000 -e cycles -a sleep 5'
+--interval-count times::
+Print count deltas for fixed number of times.
+This option should be used together with "-I" option.

--metric-only::
Only print computed metrics. Print them in a single line.
Don't show any raw values. Not supported with --per-thread.
