Feature request: Use Round Robin DB to store trace info #14

The Eclipse Enhancement 344422 referenced on the "InTrace Roadmap" page talks about archiving/replaying events. If archiving is ever implemented, can I suggest that a "Round Robin" db is used?

Maintaining large trace files on disk is a royal pain. A Round Robin DB allows data to "age off" once it is older than a specified number of days. Here is one example: http://code.google.com/p/rrd4j/

Also, rrd4j (and other rrd impls) provides some nice graphing functionality of performance data.
