Yun) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.misc Subject: Timing analysis with the prof utility Date: 11 Dec 1995 20:18:10 GMT Organization: Martin Marietta Corp, Moorestown NJ Lines: 11 Message-ID: <4ai3m2$dfg@cnn.MOTOWN.GE.COM> Reply-To: jyun@motown.ge.com NNTP-Posting-Host: dragon.motown.ge.com Can anyone tell me how accurate the prof timing numbers are? For a given function, can I assume that the corresponding prof execution number accurately represents the function's actual execution time or is the number simply a rough estimate? Please send replies to jyun@motown.ge.com Thanks in advance. Jim
