Even tcp_diag will be slow when all slots are dumped. It's a fundamental
problem of the data structure. /proc has slightly higher constant
factor overhead, that's all.
Also there are some tricks to make it a little faster (e.g.
the old patches to not take the lock for empty buckets) but again
it's only just patching constant factors, not the fundamental
scaling issue.

It's probably still far too large.
