visual-studio visual-studio-2010 debugging intellitrace

I have an application that loads a lot of metadata when starting up. This is done within a few seconds, but when I turn IntelliTrace on it takes ages. I understand why, but it makes it for me impossible to use IntelliTrace.

What I would like is to add a statement to my code to not record the IntelliTrace events and call information during this loading. After the load has finished, I want to add a statement that the IntelliTrace can record the information again.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Disable IT completely:

Tools -> Options -> IntelliTrace -> [ ] Enable IntelliTrace

or figure out what exactly event type degrades the performance and disable it:

Tools -> Options -> IntelliTrace -> IntelliTrace Events
