> In doing some benchmarking on a hadoop-1 derived codebase, I noticed that each of the child tasks was doing a ton of syscalls. Upon stracing, I noticed that it's spending a lot of time looping through all the files in /proc to calculate resource usage.
> As a test, I added a flag to disable use of the ResourceCalculatorPlugin within the tasks. On a CPU-bound 500G-sort workload, this improved total job runtime by about 10% (map slot-seconds by 14%, reduce slot seconds by 8%)
