Instead let's run 'kmem -z'. This should be more useful and it is not nearly as expensive.

We don't know how long this will take to run and it may be best to just get the vmcore in the hands of the engineer analyzing as fast as possible.
FWIW, this came as a result of the following bz: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073987#c13 If we want, we could re-think another kmem command to run by default but we need to weigh cost (execution time) vs benefit (how many people/cores find it useful). In absence of good data, for now let's just leave the kmem commands out by default.
