Another data point on the performance improvement of perf itself. Using
openssl speed as a workload and perf-stat to collect information about
the perf-record process only:
perf stat -i -- perf record -g -o /tmp/perf.data openssl speed aes

So time, CPU cycles, instructions all drop by more than a factor of 3.
