A reasonable question; no strong opinions here.

One approach is instrumentation + whatever additional engine optimizations you 
need to get perf in analysis-mode to an acceptable level. That way you don't 
risk intertwingling with the engine architecture, and the optimizations can 
benefit others too. You might need some sort of automated perf regression 
testing to catch regressions quickly, since the engine could evolve 
independently of the analysis tool.
