Description Joseph Pecoraro 2016-03-23 15:06:12 PDT
* SUMMARY
Script & Events should have a High Fidelity Profiling mode.

In this mode we would disable things that can affect performance while the inspector is open, allowing developers to profile the absolute maximum performance JavaScript while the Inspector is open.

  - disable breakpoints (see bug 152193) to disable debugger deoptimizations
  - disallow or warn if used with other expensive timelines (Heap Allocations)
  - maybe disable some domains (CSS / DOM) to avoid updates during recording?
  - maybe reduce the sample interval to get more samples?

* NOTES
- When starting / stopping recording, save & disable breakpoints then restore breakpoints setting to whatever it was
- While recording, prevent the inspector from enabling breakpoints

Retitling. Instead of having an opt-in high fidelity profiling mode we should just always do the best we can when timeline recording. That means automatically disabling breakpoints and re-enabling them (if needed) when doing a timeline recording.
