RE: impact of tracing (was: Re: [nv-l] No events displayed)

I don't have a lot of disk space so I seldom leave it on. Otherwise - there
seems to be little effect. netmon.trace and trapd.trace files grow quickly!

Speaking of tracing--how much overhead does it put on the NetView
processes  does daemon tracing add?    Is it simply out the question
to run with it on?  If so, how much additional delay would one expect?
Granted, disk space is a concern, but in terms of overall server
performance?     I'm just trying to get a sense of whether the option
is so invasive that it'll slow everything down dramatically.
