Is it possible to compare performance profiles

cg8

What I would like to be able to do is compare today's performance profile with a profile created sometime in the past. I know I can save profile data, but what I would like to do is view the two profiles 'side by side' for comparison reasons. I can't see a way to do this, other than by creating my own tool for analysing the raw xml data.

Can someone advise if Ants Performance Profiler has such a comparison feature?

Thanks.

Sorry but there is no feature in ANTS. As you say- generating a utility based on the XML is the way to go. Here's the xsd at least.
