I've been using it for years, mostly just using start, showdetail and
stop!
NB. It seems to be necessary to use a high right argument in start, ie
start_jpm_ 100000000
NB. otherwise showdetail_jpm_ 'xxxx' fails (for me, at least, with
cpu-bound verbs) with error message
|length error: usage
| msk=.0<mbgn usage mend
NB. I try to avoid more than 10 or so seconds - otherwise showdetail
tends to fail, with the same error.
NB. showdetail displays a memoised verb or a verb with explicit rank
displays in a single line, which isn't much use.
But it's very useful, all the same.
Now to get debug going in j802!

This kind of thing is an essential tool for monitoring code coverage, and
for focusing attention on the important bottlenecks, in a large body of
code.
Assuming it works (and I have not had time to try it yet):
(*) Code that never gets executed should be treated as dubious. Either it
needs documentation and test cases or it's garbage (or sometimes both).
(*) Code that eats most of the time should sometimes get attention. It's
probably working fine but sometimes there might be a more efficient
approach.
Thanks,
