The only visible difference is in the Clear command usage. In the Full monitoring mode, after clearing the events, each function call adds a function to the summary window. In the Summary only mode – only functions that was never used before will be added to the summary window when called.

Summary only monitoring is very fast and well suited for an application reconnaissance with the empty module filter.
