  • 60x speed-up of Linux “perf”

    I haven't blogged about this yet, but we saw a 1000x fold speed-up doing several things around symbolication. The more optimal approach we found was to use the gimli crate[1] directly & carefully optimize it to read in the data structures for the executable(s) you are symbolicating upfront & then issuing in-process queries. They also have a drop-in replacement of addr2line that outperforms it (both in symbolication speed & memory usage).
