Hi all,

I'm trying to optimize some slow code, but having trouble getting a time
profile that shows where the time is being spent. Here's the results from
MessageTally class>>spyOn:

 - 31249 tallies, 31251 msec.

**Tree**
--------------------------------
Process: other processes
--------------------------------
3.9% {1233ms} EventSensor>>eventTickler
  3.9% {1231ms} Delay>>wait
--------------------------------
Process: (40s) 77070: nil
--------------------------------
95.5% {29853ms} ALReadWriteTransaction(ALTransaction)>>commit:
  95.5% {29848ms} ALReadWriteTransaction>>commit
    94.7% {29593ms} Dictionary>>keysAndValuesDo:
      94.7% {29593ms} Dictionary>>associationsDo:
**Leaves**
94.7% {29593ms} Dictionary>>associationsDo:
3.9% {1231ms} Delay>>wait

**Memory**
old +891,120 bytes
young -273,076 bytes
used +618,044 bytes
free -618,044 bytes

**GCs**
full 0 totalling 0 ms (0% uptime)
incr 56 totalling 28 ms (0.1% uptime), avg 0.5 ms
tenures 12 (avg 4 GCs/tenure)
root table 0 overflows



Obviously, Dictionary>>associationsDo: isn't really a leaf method. I
suspect that Cog is generating native code for the contents of the loop and
it's not getting interrupted by the tally process. (I've tried running on
an interpreter VM, but it fails with FFI errors, so no help there.)

Anybody have any ideas for how to get a better profile?

Colin
