一句话：聚焦性能 bug 与性能调试，以 WiredTiger 为场景研究性能理解这一调试子领域。
软件调试长期是软件工程的重要议题，但性能 bug 与性能调试作为调试的一个子领域，受到的关注相对较少。本文以 WiredTiger 为场景，研究开发者对性能问题的理解（performance comprehension）。摘要指出，尽管已有大量实证研究、理论和工具支持一般调试，性能调试仍缺乏系统关注；因此论文旨在揭示性能理解这一较少被探索的问题空间。由于给出的摘要未说明具体研究方法、参与者、指标或结论，无法确定其采用的是访谈、日志分析还是受控实验，也无法总结关键结果；可确认的是论文将性能调试置于 WiredTiger 这一实际系统背景下讨论。
Software debugging is a time-consuming and challenging process. Supporting debugging has been a focus of the software engineering field since its inception with numerous empirical studies, theories, and tools to support developers in this task. Performance bugs and performance debugging is a sub-genre of debugging that has received less attention.
