Description Valentina Popescu

In Profile Launch configuration, Memory/Leak Analysis and Execution right pane, 
the “show instance level info” checkbox needs to have a description of which 
views it enables, at what cost of collection speed/size.

Would the following cover what users would most likely use this option for?
(For the memory analysis)
[] Collect instance information for memory leak analysis.
Note: If the Collect Object Reference action is used with this option,
data is collected for all active objects pointing to and from the filtered classes.

(For execution analysis)
[] Collect all instance level data. (Do you have the same problem with the
application hanging 
if this is selected for execution analysis? If so, we could add a note here as
well).

Comment 2 Valentina Popescu

I think that the description should include the fact that the amount of data 
collected in this cases grows exponential relatively to the number of classes 
collected ( one class can have a huge number of instances, such as the String 
class ).

Yes, the same performance problem results when collect instance information 
when execution flow is selected

Now that we have a "3.3" Version in bugzilla, updating bugzillas targeted to 3.3
or a 3.3 iteration so that their Version matches their Target. "future",
"unspecified", "4.0", and "4.1" Versions will not be updated.

Updated the following in 3.3 & 4.0:
- specifying profiling criteria
- identifying memory leaks
- running garbage collection
