My experience is that I won't need it. I've been able to identify numerous hangs, deadlocks, timeouts in the stress tests where I want to use this. Right now I much more annoyed by the log files filling up with thousands upon thousands lines of noise, making it harder to actually find the status of the test.

An alternative to this could be to redirect the output to another file.
