This does a lot better here, even if it isn't exactly stellar
performance. It generates a LOT of data:

root@nehalem:/dev/shm # time perf lock rec -fg ls
perf.data perf.data.old
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 137.224 MB perf.data (~5995421
samples) ]

real 0m3.320s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m3.220s

Without -g, it has 1.688s real and 1.590s sys time.

So while this is orders of magnitude better than the previous patchset,
it's still not anywhere near lean. But I expect you know that, just
consider this a 'I tested it and this is what happened' report :-)
