> Which goes to show that Ctrl-C profiling is often enough to solve a simple problem, and it’s usually much easier than learning how to use a profiler and how to properly read its output
As the article says, this is a low frequency sampling profiler, which means it comes with all the caveats of a sampling profiler, and interpreting its output. As a very crude tool, sure, but it is not an excuse to not learnt to use a profiler. Perf, instruments and UIForETW are simple enough to use that anyone who can follow the instructions in this blog past can pick up the basics in the same length of time.
