If you see a need for this please let me know.
### Grants
-Do not forget to ensure that the MySQL user you configure has access
-to the performance_schema tables.
+`pstop` needs `SELECT` access to `performance_schema` tables. It

### Screens
-pstop has 5 different screens:
+pstop has 5 different screens which get updated by default every second.
* Latency mode: order table activity by the time waiting to perform operations on them.
* Ops (operations) mode: order table activity by the number of operations MySQL performs on them.
* I/O mode: show where MySQL is spending it's time in file I/O.
* Locks mode: show order based on table locks
* User mode: show ordering based on how long users are running queries, or the number of connections they have to MySQL.
+You can change the polling interval and switch between modes (see below).
