Right. Depending on the circumstances, pretty much anything in a plan can be
something deemed problematic in some production setting.

analysisis not a good direction with big overhead, and mainly it is not friendly in critical situations. I need some
handytool like perf, but for executor nodes. I don't know how to do it effectively.
These are hot codepaths so adding tracing instrumentation which collects enough
information to be useful, and which can be drained fast enough to not be a
resource problem is tricky.

No worries, I hope we see an updated approach at some time. In the meantime
I'm marking this patch Returned with Feedback.
