Subject: Fwd: The overhead of sampling in perf record

Hi all,

Could you please explain the overhead of sampling with perf record? I
mean, when I do sampling with high frequencies, such as 10000Hz, the
accuracy of counting the events decreases. I want to know the exact
source of overheads which makes the results less accurate.

Best,
Amir
