Yeah, excellent description of why the number of syscalls is so high, and when you're tracing a multithreaded program there's the additional noise from the way it reports concurrent syscalls from the various threads. Besides filtering, I forgot to mention that I like seeing some kind of aggregation/summary. strace flags are useful; even better to write a little program with eBPF (on Linux) or DTrace (on macOS/BSD/Solaris). I like being able to do stuff like this: https://github.com/scottlamb/retina/issues/5#issue-933945792 https://github.com/scottlamb/retina/issues/5#issue-933945792
