How can I get the Profiler to work on the SHIELD tablet?

When activating the Unity Profiler for a project running on nvidia's SHIELD tablet, the number of frames per second goes down significantly. Even with a very simple example (animated cube with one directional light) turning on the unity profiler takes the frame rate from ~60 fps to ~20fps. The difference is more noticeable in scenes with higher complexity (~60fps -> 3fps). We tested multiple SHIELD tablets and several different projects with similar results. Profiling the same projects on other android devices works fine.

Has anyone found a way to use the profiler without significantly degrading performance on a SHIELD tablet?

I am aware that this is potentially a device problem, so the same question is posted in nvidia's forum: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/774385/android-development/issues-with-using-unity3d-profiler-on-shield-tablet/
