### Configuration
Access to MySQL is currently via a defaults-file which is assumed
-to be `~/.my.cnf`. This should probably be made more configurable.
-If you see a need for this please let me know.
+to be `~/.my.cnf`. Alternatively you can now provide
+-defaults-file=/path/to/.my.cnf if needed.
### Grants
* 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.
+* User mode: show ordering based on how long users are running
+queries, or the number of connections they have to MySQL. This is
+really missing a feature in MySQL (see: http://bugs.mysql.com/75156)

+some info but if the queries are very short then the integer runtime
+in seconds makes the output far less interesting.
You can change the polling interval and switch between modes (see below).
### Feedback
-Feedback and patches welcome.
+Feedback and patches welcome. I am especially interested in hearing
+from you if you are using pstop, or if you have ideas of how I can
+better use other information from the performance_schema tables to
+provide a more complete vision of what MySQL is doing or where it's
+busy.
