Neat. I actually wanted something like this just yesterday. It looks
like you are mainly tracing the execution of programs. Would it make
sense to just tie this to regular trace_* calls, and if
GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE is set, add a timestamp to each line?

Then we would not need to add separate trace_command_performance calls,
and other parts of the code that are already instrumented with GIT_TRACE
would get the feature for free.
