I hate to re-enter this thread, but this "niche use case" is exactly
what LWP is designed for. And once the JVM is adapted to exploit LWP,
its use will dwarf all of the uses of perf put together (except the NMI
watchdog). You're only causing the developers needless pain by forcing
them to fit this red peg into a green hole.
