There us a hugely non-trivial (on the order of 100x) slowdown in code running when strace does its thing.

Brendan Gregg's work in the field of performance analysis (eBPF to the rescue) is quite useful in this regard, though not without tradeoffs (AFAIK: need compiler tools on the system to compile eBPF code).

Using `perf` may be a decent middle ground.
