Be careful of the implicit contextBe careful of the implicit contextPosted Mar 6, 2008 20:41 UTC (Thu) by oak (subscriber, #2786)In reply to: Be careful of the implicit context by renox Parent article: On DTrace envy
IOgrind has been released a while ago. Its advantage over live system profiling is that the results are deterministic whereas live system performance measurements can (according to Meeks) differ as much as 10% (on Linux) from run to run. On a properly designed system, you don't (anymore) find that large bottlenecks, they are smaller. If the bottlenecks are larger, I would assume one could catch them even with strace (just strace all applicable processes at the same time).
