This is the most reliable since it will give you an overview of the whole system (it might be that the kernel, libc, gtk+, cairo, etc is slow and not our core libraries). It is just not completely trivial to setup and for profiling the core libraries it is not ideal since libgcj is sometimes a little behind in comparison with classpath. But it is the only full real solution that I know. There is also JMP (http://www.khelekore.org/jmp/) which works with Kaffe: http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/index.php?p=104 It is nice, but slows down program execution a lot. And it only profiles byte code, not any JNI or system libraries. Finally in theory you could use jip which uses the new instrumentation interface we recently added to GNU Classpath (http://jiprof.sf.net/). But I haven't actually used any runtime that supported it. Christian said he was interested in adding support for it to Cacao though. Cheers, Mark -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
