Description Jiri Sedlacek 2012-01-25 14:59:03 UTC 
Currently the two CPU profiling modes are called 'Sample application' and 'Profile application'. This gives no information neither to beginners nor to experts about what are the settings/features etc.

The suggested new wording is "Quick profiling (sampled)" and "Advanced profiling (instrumented)". Tooltips for both choices should be improved to describe the differences between the two modes.
Comment 1 Jiri Sedlacek 2012-01-25 17:00:13 UTC 
Will use shorter labels 'Quick (sampled)' and 'Advanced (instrumented)' to prevent dialog sizing issues.
