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.
