dotTrace lets you skip call sequences which take insignificant amount of time. The rest of the nodes are much more likely to be worth your attention, so they are marked as "important" and highlighted with the

As it is easy to get lost during call stack investigation, dotTrace provides an opportunity to return to the root of the current call stack and navigate between siblings. So it helps you keep in mind the structure of the call stack and return to the beginning at any time with one action.
