Profiling entire system activity with sysprof

Fri, 30 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT
Profiling an application lets you see what functions are taking up most of the CPU time so you can concentrate your optimization efforts on making the those pieces of code run faster. With sysprof, you can profile all the applications that are running on your machine, including a multithreaded or multiprocessed application or a complex server application that has multiple parts. sysprof collects information about how much time is spent in each library and function as the applications execute.
