One other thought here Ken is that you may want to have a look at a lab Angelo Rajadurai put together for JavaOne 2008 on DTrace. It turns out there is a lot of non-Java content in it (it covers Ruby, PHP, MySQL, etc.), but there is a whole section on the Firefox DTrace provider. I don't recall if it addresses resource consumption, but just getting you started with the provider using some samples may be useful. http://developers.sun.com/learning/javaoneonline/j1lab.jsp?lab=LAB-9400&yr=2008&track=1 - Matt -- Matt Ingenthron - Web Infrastructure Solutions Architect Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Global Systems Practice http://blogs.sun.com/mingenthron/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 310-242-6439 _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list [email protected]
