      Their ftrace hooks caused all disk usage to be serialized, making your multi-core processor single-core when doing anything I/O bound

      We saw between 500% - 800% increases in build times with their software installed

          We’re still using them on machines where performance doesn’t matter

          On build machines, they’re on a special VLAN and don’t have endpoint protection, but they only download from a protected mirror
