Cool project, I really like the new structured output - that will make parsing stuff much easier than with strace! Is the performance overhead of tracing the syscalls comparable to strace?

Thanks for your feedback :D! I have actually never tested the performance compared to strace. I just used `time` to try to get a rough estimate and the two were basically taking the same time for the tasks I threw at them. I certainly think that there is _some_ overhead. Either in my _not fully optimized_ implementation or in the libc wrappers the *nix crate provides. Probably the former ;).
Oh right, that makes sense!
