What are the perfomance and memory usage effects of having heaptrc running?

I want to use heaptrc in a program, but only use the AddExitProc(@DumpHeapTraceOutput) occasionally with a command line switch.

Does heaptrc intercept and monitor memory allocation throughout the program execution, or does it do a scan of memory usage for output only at program shutdown?

Look at the source code, it's open :)
Basically HeapTrc will replace the current memory manager with its own, tracing everything that's related to memory.
