### Limitations
49
+
50
+
-**Backend**: The Pyroscope Agent uses [pprof-rs](https://github.com/tikv/pprof-rs) as a backend. As a result, the [limitations](https://github.com/tikv/pprof-rs#why-not-) for pprof-rs also applies.
51
+
-**Tagging**: Adding or removing tags is not possible within threads. In general, the [Pyroscope Agent](https://docs.rs/pyroscope/latest/pyroscope/pyroscope/struct.PyroscopeAgent.html) is not Sync; and as a result a reference cannot be shared between threads. A multi-threaded program could be profiled but the agent is not thread-aware and a particular thread cannot be tagged.
52
+
-**Timer**: epoll (for Linux) and kqueue (for macOS) are required for a more precise timer.
53
+
-**Shutdown**: The Pyroscope Agent might take some time (usually less than 10 seconds) to shutdown properly and drop its threads.
