title: is it ok to use golang pprof on production without effecting performance?
body: <p>I'm kind of new to the <code>pprof</code> tool, and am wondering if its ok to keep running this in production.  From the articles I have seen, it seems to be ok and standard, however I'm confused as to how this does not affect performance since it does a sampling <code>N</code> times every second and how come this does not lead to a degradation in performance.</p>
