Description

Python 3.15 has the new Tachyon profiler.

Attach it to a running borg process and see...

Also try:
- --binary and replay - use this to gather data only once
- --flamegraph
- --heatmap
- --diff-flamegraph
- --gecko and Marker Chart

Use the improved successor `Kronon` when it becomes available - better with C code.

Research direction

Start with a running borg process under Python 3.15 and investigate the Tachyon options named in the issue: --binary with replay, --flamegraph, --heatmap, --diff-flamegraph, --gecko, and Marker Chart. Record what each mode reveals, and repeat the investigation with Kronon when it becomes available, especially for C code; done means reporting the profiling results.
