That's unlikely. 32K is not a small buffer size.
It's more likely that time is spent during compression.

strace shouldn't see a system call here because clock_gettime should be
handled in the vDSO. This suggests something is wrong with the system
(unless it's some obscure variant that really doesn't have vDSO support).
