<p class="note"><span class="style1">WARNING</span> When you enable all the traces, the 50ms minimum Memory/Priority  interval may not be sufficient for all of the traces to complete successfully between each cycle. This can cause strange errors, such as loss of icons in lists. If you suspect this problem, simply increase the sampling interval to 100ms or more or disable some traces.</p>
