Description Geary Ridings CLA 2004-07-01 16:31:15 EDT 
In Memory/Leak Analysis 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. Without this, I don’t know why to check it or not.
Comment 1 Eugene Chan CLA 2004-12-06 12:42:25 EST 
Propose to push this out of 3.2 due to resource limtation in 3.2 and retarget to
- for now, this feature will be raised to the RG and get review there for the
propose new target 3.3
Comment 2 Wayne Ho CLA 2005-01-28 14:28:31 EST 
Can we target for 4.1 for consideration of the requirements team?

It would probably be a good idea to expand this enhancement into a rework of
details/description of TPTP profiling types, including the checkbox for the
instance level info.
Comment 3 Geary Ridings CLA 2005-01-28 17:27:23 EST 
Targeting for 4.1 sounds like a good idea.

Expanding it to include presenting better descriptions of the profiling types 
would certainly be a welcome addition.
Comment 4 Valentina Popescu CLA 2005-03-10 11:46:55 EST 
This option should be hidden under some advanced options and properly 
documented so that the user understand the cost of checking the option

Thanks for the note. If we hide this optione under an Advanced area, Please 
make sure to add a WARNING saying that it could crash/hang the machine if we 
collect "More Objects". Plus we also need to give some guidelines on what do we 
mean by  "More Objects". How does ordinary user know. Any creative thoughts 
would be appreciated here.
