Always wondered why nobody did more tracing for latency in unneeded/excessive read syscalls. The amount of directories linux binaries search for files is amazing.

Its not just snap, most binaries are excessive in reads, ballpark, 20-30% of legacy paths, missing binaries, symlinks, etc.

Everytime something breaks and you start peeking at whats going on, its a WTF and WHY, and just assume its legacy built on legacy, for some purpose that no longer exists, maybe except in the extremely rare edge cases.
