but that's for all tracepoints all over the kernel... i think it's natural
that this takes some CPU time. note that on these boards even the 22Mbps are
limited by the CPU processing power.

could be helpful, allthough i have to admit that these boards are getting old
and more current embedded boards usually do have faster CPUs...
