classic mode slow, taking up one full core with apparmor logging

[Dan Kegel]

When building a c++ app on a raspberry pi 3 in classic mode,
I noticed two things that hurt performance substantially.

1) the obvious: if you crank config.txt's gpu_mem up above the
default, life is bad :-)  Don't do that on build machines.

2) the not so obvious: apparmor is keeping systemctl's journal process
at 100% on one core logging crud like

Is there an option for reducing apparmor verbosity on ALLOWED operations?
(speaking strictly as a foreigner in the land of apparmor and snappy)

Thanks!
