That's nice to hear :)

In what way is call-graph profiling utilized typically?

Is it system-wide, i.e. something like:

perf record -a -g sleep 10

? If yes then that would explain why scalability problems rarely surfaced,
it takes a longer user-space profile to get to the event counts where
scalability started hurting.

Thanks,

Ingo
