Repro steps
If you have a large enough page the profiler fails to create a profile even for a small time window and the page freezes
I need a way to profile my pages. I think a file output instead of the visualizer can be helpful.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with a sufficiently large page and a short profiling window, then inspect the React DevTools profiler flow involved in creating the profile. Done means profiling no longer freezes the page or fails to create a profile; the issue also suggests evaluating file output as an alternative to the visualizer.
