Comment (by phercek):
Maybe the analysis was done, at least partially.
[http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/papers/ghci-debug.pdf A Lightweight
Interactive Debugger for Haskell] paper indicates so at the end of chapter
4.3.[[BR]]
As for as the filtering of the trace history, it is not about performace
savings but making sure that the right stuff is in it. A possibility of
detailed filtering what goes into the trace log is important. I discussed
it in this message
[http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.glasgow.user/16270 my
experience with ghci debugger extensions].[[BR]]
Btw, a new version of {{{GhciExt}}} (0.6) is available
[http://www.hck.sk/users/peter/pub/ here]. It does not require prefixing
with {{{:x}}} any more and works with stock ghc 6.10.3. No custom patches
to ghc are needed.
