Example: procedure Dummy(); begin FillChar(P,$7FFFFFFF,0); FillChar(P,$7FFFFFFF,0); FillChar(P,$7FFFFFFF,0); FillChar(P,$7FFFFFFF,0); end; Dummy will get the highest cumulative time, but its (self) real time would be almost nothing.

You must get the "calls", functions with more calls are usually the ones that would get more benefit from any optimization. Also look for functions (specially the basic ones) that spend too much time. -- Best regards, JoshyFun _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
