So all I am understanding is, we could make linux 10-100 times faster, but licensing-quirks don't allow it? Physical electricity, time and whatnot is wasted because of legal foo?

No, you're not understanding it. Perf is a profiling tool. It's slow on Debian because reasons.

The GPL requires that software linking to GPL projects are also licensed in GPL. This issue could be solved easily by releasing GPL software, that respects users' freedom.

Both packages involved here are GPL, but unfortunately have mutually exclusive version ranges (=2, and >=3)
