Thanks for your information. Unfortunately the only case I really need 
is scriptHook :-(.  The big overhead in Firebug is caused because the 
only way to sort out scripts is to have a stack and scriptHooks do not 
have a stack. So I have to take the scriptHook and set a breakpoint to 
get a stack.  I thought I could pay back some of the overhead if I could 
filter scriptHook calls to focus only on the ones that need processing.
