This seems very complicated. The symbolization cannot just be completely
lazy when processing samples? (perf-gcov does it this way and it seems
to work fine with some caching). Or is the idea to not dwarf process rarely used
functions at all?

It's a bit risky to completely ignore cold stuff because it might 
be still important when the workload changes. In this case the profile
is not very good, but usually any profile is better than nothing.
