    You're not very good at listening, I said the perf infrastructure and
    event handling mechanism isn't geared towards full throughput but
    instead on sampling.

    There is lots of code between getting the event and landing it in the
    buffer. The buffer itself is perfectly suited for high speed low
    overhead stuffs, the perf data format possibly not because its not
    bitfield happy.
