For the purpose of devfs, does it make sense to bump timestamps like

will bump timestamps for each operation but Debian don't.

First question is, what timecounter hardware is used.  I would accept
some slowdown from hardware like HPET, but it is indeed surprising
if caused by TSC.



David Wolfskill suggested trying the problem commit with

vfs.timestamp_precision=0

and it does indeed restore performance to what it was. The raw dtrace files are available and FlameGraphs can all be found at
