From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
When comparing time stamps in perf script traces it can be annoying to work with the full perf time stamps. Add a --reltime option that displays time stamps relative to the trace start to make it easier to read the traces.
Note: not currently supported for --time. Report an error in this case.
Before:

After:
