For IDE the statistical value of being able to go digging through old
data has been more than worth the effort. Similarly writing tools to do
the grovelling has a clear value.

You're grovelling at the bottom of the barrel, it's time to start
skimming from the top instead.  Things that matters will come back, it
doesn't disappear.

I'm trying to turn grovelling into barrels into an automated process.
Thats much more useful and also entertaining (things like oops matching
and gdb trace matching turn out to be interesting little problems of
their own)
