Re: [AOLSERVER] profiling an aolserver site

[patrick o'leary]

Something that might be of use is the tcl-lib profiler http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2004/Tcl2003papers/kupries-doctools/tcllib.doc/profiler/profiler.html Which gives a little insight into proc calls. Might be of use to you, obviously use with care and don't enable it on all production requests.

We are then emailed reports on the worst pages every night, and can pull up nice looking reports that show us the worst offenders, and the history for each page. We also have an experimental tool we've added as a wrapper around procs which basically keeps track of all the count of how many times procs are called within each request. We keep  the last 1000 requests in memory, so it's easy to see which procs are being called the most often, and make sure these procs are highly optimized. We've found some big performance holes using this. These tools are not generally useful because they rely a lot on custom code, but I'd be happy to talk about how we implemented them. The general idea is to write out to nsvs. We found this to have a lot less performance impact than we expected.
