Hi Max,
I have done some development on Linux but I’m currently the Wireshark stuff on Windows and Visual Studio. If I get stuck and can’t
get the info I need I may put the code on my Centos laptop.
Thanks and regards…Paul

Thanks Graham – that’s a great point and I’ll take a look this evening with a Release build.
Paul, if you are familiar with Linux, I may recommend you to use callgrind tool from the valgrind toolset for this purpose. Its reports can be viewed with KCachegrind and they are very informative. The only disadvantage is that is slows
down execution by the factor of 8-10 since it virtualizes execution of all process'es instructions to estimate accurate number of machine cycles needed for execution and to build a good callgraph. The advantage is that report is not a statistic based on many
snapshots of process state but is an accurate estimation of virtually any single function call with a perfect estimation of time taken by the function body and of time taken by all its callees. Also you can use it on a release build without any modification.
