Hi, I got one comment in IRC, saying that a faster mmiotrace would be nice, but probably not something he would invest time in. Looking at it from that point of view, I guess mmiotrace works well enough, and is "only" a reverse-engineering tool, not something used daily. That, and the lack of replies here indicate that rewriting mmiotrace with your approach might not be worth it. I don't think anyone opposes to the idea, they just have better things to do. It's all up to you, I believe. Thanks, pq
