Hmmm. It would be helpful to rename \"Start\" to \"Finish\" for the finish events, or to explicitly list the phase. Right now the only indication of the phase is that \"f\" events have a queue_duration and \"s\" events do not -- that's too cryptic.\r\n\r\nIt would also be nice if it was clearer that src_file and src_func describe the place that called PostTask (it is odd that the PostTask details are shown in the RunTask). It could also be useful to record and display what function is being run, as well as what function posted the task. Ideally I'd like to have a summary for the task that told me where it was posted, and what it is."}}
