Comment #2 on issue 30556 by [email protected]: Remove "Total" time column in "Heavy (Bottom Up)" view in the CPU profiler http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30556
What I understood after thinking about this issue a bit more, is that "Total" column is useful for leaf nodes -- it actually allows us to consider non-expanded b-u view as a flat profile. "Total" column for a leaf node displays total execution time for a particular function, just as in a flat profile. This number is usually can't be found in an explicit form in a top-down view, except for functions that are being called only from a single caller (this number is the sum of "total" times for all of function's entries in the t-d profile). I agree that for non-leaf nodes values in the "Total" column are rarely used -- it shows total running time of a function when calling this particular callee. Maybe it will make sense not to show it to reduce screen clutter. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
