This can be a fractional number, but must be larger than

<term><varname>Relative=no</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configures whether the left axis of the
output graph equals time=0.0 (<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> start). This
is useful for using bootchart at post-boot time to profile
an already booted system, otherwise the graph would become
extremely large. If set to yes, the horizontal axis starts
at the first recorded sample instead of time=0.0.

<listitem><para>Configures whether the resulting graph
should omit tasks that did not contribute significantly
to the boot. Processes that are too short-lived (only
seen in one sample) or that do not consume any significant
CPU time (less than 0.001sec) will not be displayed in
the output graph.</para></listitem>
