can't get report/annotate to show file/line
maybe related to ?

OK...
I could get it to work by building iperf with
CXXFLAGS='-g3 -gdwarf-2' CFLAGS='-g3 -gdwarf-2'

then some work to understand how threads are represented

The number of samples actually recorded is less than expected, but is
probably still statistically valid.  Decreasing the sampling rate is the
best option if you want to avoid throttling.
