Activity region

When looking at lengthy traces with thousands and millions of messages (trace statements), we can see regions of activity where the statement current (JmJ_{m}, msg/smsg/s) is much higher than in surrounding temporal regions. Here is an illustration for a typical ETW/CDF trace where a middle region of activity ( ...
