Description
Profile: https://share.firefox.dev/2X0vayw
Every time symbolication updates the thread, processThreadCPUDelta is called again for the modified profile.
It seems like this is something that could be done only once. We could bake the guarantees that processThreadCPUDelta makes into the processed profile format. That means, instead of calling it from a selector, we would call it in these two places:
- During profile processing, and
- In an upgrader for the processed profile format.
It's not taking a ton of time, and symbolication is slow already, but it's one of many things that adds up to the slowness and it might be easy to fix.
