What do u guys think about turning on visualizers while sampling?

I think it takes up some processing power which may otherwise be used for powering 
another thread used to load the website.  Moreover, it does slow down performance 
measurement.

I haven't used a performance tool like Segue's SilkPerformer or Mercury's LoadRunner 
so I don't know if they offer something similar.  I also have no idea whether ppl 
would use them considering my argument above.

Can anybody who does performance testing before enlighten me?

If a lot of ppl feel the same about its usefulness then I think it'll be more 
worthwhile to write offline visualizers which reads sample results from a file 
(generated by FileVisualizer) and displays the graph.  I think this is almost a 
must(?) but this would mean that for each visualizer tt we want, we would need to 
modify FileVisualizer to store the additional data required byt the visualizer in the 
file generated.

Any views on this?
