When the heap is large with many objects, refreshing the snapshot will affect system performance
more than refreshing from a smaller heap with fewer objects.
Sort by any of the data types by clicking the column heading in the Current Live Heap Objects
table. Continue clicking on the same column heading to toggle the sort between ascending and
descending order for numerical columns and by alphabetical order for columns containing text.
