This will be likely 40-80us on larger systems, although the overhead
is often non linear so it might get worse.

There are some setups who do frequent sampling of /proc/meminfo
in the background. Increased overhead could be a problem for them.
But not proposing a change now. If someone complains have to
revisit I guess, perhaps adding a rate limit of some sort.
