Are there any efforts ongoing to decrease the probe effect ? We have
attempted to
use the hotspot provider in production in the past, but the overhead has proven
to be a bit too much. On some of out mildly busy applicaiton servers we saw
the CPU load jump from 10% utilization to 100% utilization when we enabled
the DTraceMethodProbes probes.  We would _LOVE_ be able to use the
hotspot provider in production, but the runtime overhead currently prevents
us from doing so.

Thanks,
