Initial filtering prototype

[CamJN]

I find that the lowest frames of the stack trace can often be in the way, and prevent otherwise adjacent frames from being combined. This is what I've been doing to throw out the rack and passenger frames, and is by no means merge-worthy but I find it's a good spot to throw out unwanted data and figured I'd share. Maybe you'll have an idea how to make this usable in a general sense.

The attached screenshots show the difference that even this crude version can make.

I am totally open to something like this but can we make it optional, you can even remember the option in local storage or something

just add a checkbox for it.

[CamJN]

Of course, it should be optional. I'm not sure how to access request params in the renderer, though. Any advice?

In the meantime, added the missing sorting to make this a flame graph vs a flame chart. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1123495

result:

can't you just do all of this in the UI side, server payload can remain.

so default would be as it is now, then if you tick a box it kicks it into the other mode and rerenders (remembering the box is ticked using local storage)

Then I'd have to reindex everything, but I suppose it could be done.

[CamJN]

Well, I tried; couldn't get the indexing to work client side. Either way you get the sorting corrected.
