Probably. But in my test, the single threaded performance on a single
data file is slightly better or almost same. I didn't investigate it
yet where the performance gain comes, but anyway, I think this has
almost no effect on the performance since most thread will have just
one or two comms I guess.

And JFYI, the single threaded performance on a multi-file data is
better (I tested same data using 'perf data split' command and no
--multi-thread option to perf report) as IMHO it doesn't need to use
the ordered event queue layer.

I think it can be easily added later if it really affects the performance.

Thanks,
