Both. But not time periods long enough to generate GB sized files
(limitations in the product). I get various reports of hung commands
(usually perf-not terminated properly (now fixed) or the file is
corrupted on transfer), but noone has complained to me about perf-report
appearing to hang or for 20-30 minutes to generate a result.
