Hi -

These performance discussions might be more meaningful if
we had explicit performance goals for systemtap. [...]
Any thoughts on defining performance goals for systemtap?
I don't think picking numbers does harm, but I don't know how
much good that does either. Would we stop-ship a systemtap
implementation that didn't meet the goals? In the abstract,
should one opt to optimize vs. extend functionality? Maybe
these questions should be put aside until something runnable
exists as a point of reference, when actual decisions might
need to be made.
