(threads, CPU load counters, etc.). Each source is tagged with a group
and an order similar to the SYSINIT SI_SUB_* and SI_ORDER_*. After
the file is parsed, all the sources are then sorted. Currently, the only
affects of this are that the CPU loads are now sorted by CPU ID (so
CPU 0 is always first). However, this makes it easier to add new types
of event sources in the future and have them all clustered together
instead of intertwined with threads.
- Python lists perform insertions at the tail much faster than insertions
at the head. For a trace that had a lot of events for a single event
source, the constant insertions of new events to the head of the
per-source event list caused a noticable slow down. To compensate,
append new events to the end of the list during parsing and then
reverse the list prior to drawing.
- Somewhere in the tkinter internals the coordinates of a canvas are
stored in a signed 32-bit integer. As a result, if an the box for
an event spans 2^31, it would actually end up having a negative
X offset at one end. The result was a single box that covered the
entire event source. Kris worked around this for some traces by
bumping up the initial ticks/pixel ratio from 1 to 10. However, a
divisor of 10 can still be too small for large tracefiles (e.g.
with 4 million entries). Instead of hardcoding the initial scaling
ratio, calculate it from the time span of the trace file.
- Add support for using the mouse wheel to scroll the graph window
up and down.
