Thanks for your comments. As I read/skim the code, the magic must be 
elsewhere, that it, in the code that calls the callbacks. Imo, that code 
must be very low level (system/compiler dependent) code. But of course I 
could be mistaken.

Many years ago there was a unix tool called (iirc) systrace. That tool 
*might* have evolved into the Android systrace tool 
, but if so it 
has evolved considerably.

It looks to be a C extension module
(https://gitlab.com/mbryant/functiontrace/-/blob/770340083a06b46c6dfe6cd8128600a11a47d3dc/py-functiontrace/_functiontrace.c)
which uses profiling hooks built into Python
(https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html#c.PyEval_SetProfile, among
others).

FunctionTrace is likely a python wrapper around system tracing tools. 
Surely there is no way to get the performance claimed using only python (or 
rust).

FunctionTrace - Low overhead Python Profiler

[Thomas Passin]

I stumbled upon an interesting profiler today - FunctionTrace.  It works 
together with Firefox so as to make use of Firefox's profiling UI, and 
supposedly incurs almost no slowdown while profiling.  It's currently 
Linux.Mac only.

FunctionTrace Home Page 
Building FunctionTrace, a graphical Python profiler 


I've never done any Python profiling, but this looks worth looking at, 
especially the second link.
