AFL has an alternative llvm-base instrumentation mode, which has much lower overhead than the traditional afl-gcc.
One extra ability is to chose exactly where the master process gets initialised to, before being forked for testing. This point is chosen after the call to LLVMFuzzerInitialize(), so the stack isn't being remapped executable for every test. Another extra ability is to feed multiple inputs into a single test process, to reduce the number of fork() calls required overall. Two caveats are that if stdin is used for data, it must be unbuffered, and if input is passed via a command line parameter, the underlying file must be opened and closed on each iteration.
