[dtrace-discuss] DTrace and CPU utilization

[Akhilesh Mritunjai]

As I observe, your script is basically doing all work inside the probe. Since you already have a fairly busy system with LOT of IO, your script creates a significant overhead.

Can you try to limit the script to just collect the data and post-process it either in END probe or via another script ?

I am not sure whether writing a translator would give you better performance than so many casts, but you can try.
