And as far as I remember PCA doesn't work on shareable images, which
means on any kind of application with a semi-modern architecture, you
either do without or you mangle your build procedures to make a static
version, which in turn makes the results of any performance analysis
somewhat suspect for drawing conclusions about the real-world application.
