Try

- Increasing the buffer size (see high event rate buffer size in lttctl
  --help) or the number of subbuffers. Note that those are both rounded
  to the next power of two.
- Running in flight recorder mode. You would then have only the last X
  events from the trace, but you won't be limited by your disk output.
- Having a faster disk output.
- Looking at the most frequent events in the trace and disabling this
  instrumentation. using lttv -m textDump --noevent path_to_trace
  should help finding the most frequent event.
