How much will RootCause slow my application?
This depends almost entirely on what you do with it. If you trace almost nothing, it will introduce almost no overhead. If you trace every method call on your machine, it will slow things down too much. The keys to good performance are: • only ask questions you want the answers to; that is, don’t blindly trace everything if you’re worried about performance; and • avoid logging data over the network: put your workspace on a local disk. Experience tells us that collecting too much data is a bigger problem than slowing down the application too much.
