The fact that this shows up as CPU time suggests that the reads were all hitting in the system cache and the CPU time was the kernel overhead (note ntoskrnl.exe on the first sampled call stack) of grabbing data from the cache.

Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better. When there’s three ways to succeed, we still have two ways to succeed when a failure is present, and if data is corrupted, we can tell which of the three is the odd one out.
