FWIW this aa-preprocess tool sounds like it would be good to run via a
github action so that it can suggest changes to the existing profiles
which would then be made by hand.

Title:
  apparmor_parser -O no-expr-simplify problematic

Status in snapd:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  There was a recent issue with a core refresh that caused breakage.
  Upon further investigation it turns out that the apparmor_parser uses
  an substantial of memory.

  Upon some more investigation it turns out that that -O no-expr-
  simplify makes both time to compile and memory usage increase 10x.
  Tested with 22.04 but I see the same ballpark results with 16.04:

  $ /usr/bin/time --verbose apparmor_parser -S 
2.59/profiles/snap.screenly-client.command-executor > /dev/null
      Command being timed: "apparmor_parser -S 
2.59/profiles/snap.screenly-client.command-executor"
      User time (seconds): 4.32
      Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 117392

  $ /usr/bin/time --verbose apparmor_parser  -O no-expr-simplify -S 
2.59/profiles/snap.screenly-client.command-executor > /dev/null
      Command being timed: "apparmor_parser -O no-expr-simplify -S 
2.59/profiles/snap.screenly-client.command-executor"
      User time (seconds): 40.64
      Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 1015816

  Profile is attached.

  
  It seems like we seriously need to consider dropping "-O no-expr-simplify". 

  For context:

  is why it was added in the first place
