Comment (by bgamari):

 simonmar, can ThreadScope help point one in the direction of which
 blackhole is to blame? I was under the impression that blackhole
 performance debugging an area where our current tools fell a little short,
 but maybe I've missed something.

 Somewhere around here I have the beginnings of a patch adding support for
 profiling of blackhole block events but I wonder if our new DWARF
 capabilities might be a better fit for this sort of performance work.
