  • 💡 What: Replaced binary.Read with manual parsing using binary.LittleEndian for l7Event, tcpEvent, fileEvent, and procEvent in ebpftracer.
  • 🎯 Why: binary.Read uses reflection and is slow for high-frequency event processing. It also reads full fixed-size arrays (e.g., 4KB buffers) even when data is small.
  • 📊 Impact: Reduces parsing time by ~100x (1138ns -> 10ns per event) and significantly reduces allocations and memory copy overhead (especially for L7 events).
  • 🔬 Measurement: Verified with micro-benchmarks showing 100x speedup. Unit tests passed.

Replaces `binary.Read` with manual parsing for significant performance gains in the eBPF event reader loop. This avoids reflection overhead and unnecessary data copying for large payload buffers.
