This option control the way to calculate overhead of filtered entries -
that means the value of this option is effective only if there's a
filter (by comm, dso or symbol name). Suppose a following example:
Overhead Symbols
........ .......
33.33% foo
33.33% bar
33.33% baz
This is an original overhead and we'll filter out the first 'foo'
entry. The value of 'relative' would increase the overhead of 'bar'
and 'baz' to 50.00% for each, while 'absolute' would show their
current overhead (33.33%).
