RPM can't know that any of your actions are "special." It's just telling you that, of all the requests that it has seen, some of them are slower than others. I'm not defending RPM because I think it's the best solution for anyone, I just don't think that you're being fair in your judgment. Also, consider making a feature request if it doesn't do something that you'd like. > However I have noticed that another relatively slow action is my root! > And it is the most often called one!

I've only tried New Relic's RPM Lite on a staging server so far. Hopefully, I'll be trying it in production soon. Another performance monitoring tool is offered by FiveRuns [ http://www.fiveruns.com/ ]. I haven't tried theirs yet. Using rawk I was able to figure out that most of the time spent on my > root is in rendering, I need to optimize this or it will kill my app. I'm glad you found something useful.
