So MatView() with the performance viewer format would do a MatMult(),   KSPView() would do a axpy,  KSPView_GMRES() would do an mdot and maxpy etc. … PCMG would call the viewer recursively on the subksps etc etc etc.

Yes, we can use Viewer for top level traversal, and then the low-level
Log API for
extracting the performance info online and processing it.
