ps's tree-view option -f usually comes in handy to get a clearer picture
of which processes belong together. The same information is of course
also directly available via the /proc filesystem -- though from the top
of my head I can't tell where exactly (I little digging should turn it
up quickly), but you'd then have to do the calculations yourself...
