The slowdown that I was trying to fix was in the "perf record" part of
the profiling process, not the "perf report" part. I didn't try
perf-record on perf-record as the performance counters are limited
resources and I don't want resource conflicts to affect the results.
As the slow-down was entirely in the user space, I decided to use
gprof to do the profiling.
Just to clarify that the post-processing time that I referred to in the
patch is the time spent after the workload finishes in the perf-record
session and the perf command itself quits. I could take a really long
time for perf to quit without the patch.
