biotop and biolatency surface similar info. they come with a ton of other ridiculously awesome tools in BCC tools. they are a set of python wrapper scripts that run eBPF programs. using eBPF generally has a really low impact on performance when compared with other tools that do similar work.

bcc also has opensnoop, which is really nice for seeing which files are being opened:
