That is pretty incredible. I thought that the "Develop" menu and JavaScript profiler in Safari were great, but this deep tracing tool looks even better.

This is head and shoulders above Fiddler 2 for giving you a complete picture of what's going on.

I wonder how this gets such detailed information about network and DOM events without injecting debug signals into the browser binaries?

The article made it sound to me like they are altering the browser's code.

Anyone have any tips for memory profiling tools, other than the one mentioned in the article comments? (http://www.softwareverify.com/javascript/memory/feature.html, Windows-only, Firefox-only, non-free)

Knowing John Resig, we'll get a blog post in 6 weeks showing a 30% speedup in jQuery in ie6 and 7. This man is a machine.

Can't you do this through COM? (Isn't that the point? I dunno, I've never programmed windows stuff...)
