/**
 * SECTION:shell-perf-log
 * @short_description: Event recorder for performance measurement
 *
 * ShellPerfLog provides a way for different parts of the code to
 * record information for subsequent analysis and interactive
 * exploration. Events exist of a timestamp, an event ID, and
 * arguments to the event.
 *
 * Emphasis is placed on storing recorded events in a compact
 * fashion so log recording disturbs the execution of the program
 * as little as possible, however events should not be recorded
 * at too fine a granularity - an event that is recorded once
 * per frame or once per user action is appropriate, an event that
 * occurs many times per frame is not.
 *
 * Arguments are identified by a D-Bus style signature; at the moment
 * only a limited number of event signatures are supported to
 * simplify the code.
