<para>New columns have been added to the workunits and the logical files
pages in ECL Watch. These columns can be sorted by any cost columns, just

the workunit’s metrics.</para>

<para>As the cost tracking matures, the cost calculations also improve
significantly providing more accurate cost tracking. For example, data
that was accessed from page cache doesn’t incur any file access cost. HPCC
Systems cost tracking now detects data that has been returned from the
page cache and adjusts cost calculations appropriately resulting in more
accurate cost calculations.</para>

included in the file access cost value. Any other cost associated with
file operations (such as delete or copy) will not be tracked or
