That was probably from taking the last sample during the boot process. I
waited for the boot process to complete this time before tracing, which
yielded a much smaller file (9.8M).
Due to the delay in trace-cmd on this host, it's difficult for me to get
very short samples (~2sec). I hope that the additional sample data isn't
a problem.
Here's the post-boot/2sec/4sec experiment run again, with "trace-cmd
record -e kvm".

I can tell it's this one from the size. :) Note that I only really need
a few seconds of trace (even 1-2 seconds until the ticks start slowing
down, but I have no idea what's happening after that point which is why
I said 10 originally).
Is it really that big if you trace an otherwise idle VM?
