infer actual method run time excluding children

cbertolasio

I am looking at a method in the "All Methods" tab. The method has the following statistics: Hit Count 15057, Time (sec) 52.1525, Average Time (sec) 0.1019, Time w/ Children (Sec) 1533.5680.

If I use the following math, Time w. Children / Hit Count the result = Average Time (sec.)

I want to find the average time taken by the method EXCLUDING children. Can I simply take Time (sec) / Hit Count?

Hi,

yes indeed you can simpy divide the time by the hit count to get the average time per call excluding children.

Thanks,

If we use the calculation discussed in this post, and we know that Method A invokes Method B and the average time (excluding children) in Method a is .1000 seconds and the average time in Method B (excluding children) is .4000, can we infer that method B is more of a performance issue compared to method A?

Tom Harris

Yes this sounds correct. The time (time without children) is the key performance measurement for deciding which methods are actually the cause of your performance problems,
