title: iOS Development: Is there a way to read .trace files from command prompt without using instruments
body: <p>I am trying to do some performance testing for my application and am looking to monitor its certain metrics, specifically cpu usage amongst others. I want to make the process completely automated. I am able to create the .trace file and am looking for a solution to get meaningful information from the trace file. I want to do this on non jail broken devices so using top too is not feasible</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any pointers for finding cpu usage on non jail broken devices in an automated fashion.</p>
