Howdy, I tend to use the simplest of all: long opStart = System.currentTimeMillis(); ... do stuff ... long opEnd = System.currentTimeMillis(); ... elapsed time in milliseconds = opEnd - opStart
I know this approach isn't 100% accurate due to threading issues, CPU cycles, etc, but it's good enough for every application I've ever written/used. It's also consistent, simple to use, and incurs no overhead. You will undoubtedly find many timing utilities if you try a google search. I haven't found one that claims to always be 100% accurate in the face of threading issues, so why bother using anything but the simplest? ;) Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Robert McIntosh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 11:54 AM >To: Commons >Subject: [OT] timers > >Does anyone know of a good timer utility, maybe there is one hidden in >commons somewhere?
