1% is a ton. 1% is crazy. Visa owns the world off just a 3% tax on everything else. Brokers make billions off of just 1% or even far less.

1% of all activity is only rational if you get more than 1% of all activity back out from those times and places where it was used.

1%, when it's of everything, is an absolutely stupendous collossal number that is absolutely crazy to try to treat as trivial.

Better analogy: you're paying 30% to apple, and over 50% in bad payday loans, and you're worried about the 3% visa/stripe overhead ... that's kinda crazy. But that's where we are in computer performance, there's 10x, 100x, and even greater inefficiencies everywhere, 1% for better backtraces is nothing.

Absolutely. We've gotten numerous double digit performance improvements across applications, libraries, and system daemons because of frame-pointers in Fedora (and that's just from me).
