Perfetto is pretty cool (if not a very overloaded term since there's the perfetto UI, perfetto backend, etc.), but we were generally interested in fairly low-level aspects like waiting on memory, etc. which require low-overhead tracing. ftrace (which perfetto uses under the hood for all the system events) does have observable overhead. KUtrace has nifty visualization for the different wait kinds (waiting for CPU, locks, memory, etc.). There was also the novelty of trying to get KUtrace to work with Android.

The upside to perfetto of course is the much much richer tooling, infrastructure, and ease of use since it comes pre-installed on your phone.

> Nice handle btw. Grinding for that was unforgettable...

Haha thanks. Symphony of the Night is easily one of my favorite games -- I can pick it up any time and play it until 200.6% completion ;)
