can anyone recommend me the most precise way of measuring how efficient my signal rate externals are? I assume there is a better way than using adstatus.

measuring-cpu-usage

and I put a significant number of instances of my object on... but 

apple XCode has good profiling tools with good explanations... I 

never dared to read them though, but Joshua gave some hints on this 

list a couple of years ago when we were talking about the relevance 

of vectorisation of some parts of code...

I use the terminal with
top -ocpu -R -F -s 2 -n30

thanks for the info. I'm going to look into using shark which comes with the xcode tools. I would also be interested in a cross platform solution if anyone is aware of one. I'd just like to see how any optimisations i do affect the efficiency of the perform loop and how it compares on windows and mac.

just discovered cnmat's bench object, which should be useful for this
