Because we need to distinguish in between situations where a function was
really not executed (counter == 0) and the situation where we miss profile for
a function.

One another solution could be the usage of gzip that can shrink file sizes
~10x.
That will be beneficial in situation where you don't merge profiles.

How exactly do you merge profiles? Do you run parallel invocation which can
take log2(N)?
