Description Alexander Kouznetsov 2007-03-16 17:48:55 UTC 
Profiler 070314

This is customer request to have the ability to sort Call Tree and Hot Spots by
Self Time and Time. Currently Self Time is shown as nodes in Call Tree, so user
can't sort Call Tree nodes by Self Time. On the contrary Time is not shown in
Hot Spots, only Self Time, so user can't sort Hot Spots table by Time.

Comment 2 apb 2007-06-04 23:53:55 UTC 
I just want to point out that having a total time column here should list the
total time in this function from *all* code paths. This information is currently
impossible to find in the current profiler since the "call tree" pane only 
lists the total time for one particular code path. The total time from 
all code paths is one of the most revealing and useful pieces of information 
that a profiler can provide and it is no where to be seen as far as I can 
tell in the current profiler (5.5.1).
Comment 3 Alexander Kouznetsov 2007-10-02 10:01:25 UTC 
Feedback from user: I still have the same problem in Netbeans 5.5.1:  I am trying to optimize a web application that
runs in a number of worker threads and that makes calls to back-end servers such as data base or EJB servers.  The
following feature would help a lot, but I could not find it:

     A Hot Spot view that shows and sorts by total time instead of self
     time.  A method is equally bad whether it consumes time on the
     local server or in back-end calls (as then it is just another
     server that is kept busy), and it is therefore the total time
     consumed by a method that is more relevant than the self time.

As it is, this deficiency conspire to make it difficult to find the methods that actually take the most total time.

The total time in Hot Spot view looks like it might be easy to add, either as an additional sortable column or as an
option instead of the self time.

Apart from this, I found the profiler easy to work with (especially compared to Eclipse TPTP, which I have used before
and which insists on recording every single function call instead of an aggregate).
