To be honest, I have not had much feedback about anything that's not
obviously broken or missing. This sort of feedback would be very
interesting, and would help guide decisions about our future direction for
this tool.

Well, I can say with some certainty that our main development focus so far
has been directed at the accuracy and performance of the sections of code
that get executed the most. We have a few ideas for additional performance
improvements that will make it onto our development map. I would like some
more feedback about the performance of the 0.7.4 release before we set
priorities on these efforts.

There is a survey where you can give us your feedback:

Thanks,

Adrian
