        * idle processes that keep running during the last process sample
          (which is a heuristic for a background processes) are removed,

        * the processes used by the boot logger are removed,

          process subtrees) have their subtrees merged together,
        * siblings (i.e. processes with the same command line living
          concurrently -- thread heuristic) are merged together,
        * process runs (unary trees with processes sharing the command line)
