Hi Max,

I have done some development on Linux but I’m currently the Wireshark stuff on 
Windows and Visual Studio.  If I get stuck and can’t get the info I need I may 
put the code on my Centos laptop.

Thanks and regards…Paul

Thanks Graham – that’s a great point and I’ll take a look this evening with a 
Release build.

Paul, if you are familiar with Linux, I may recommend you to use callgrind tool 
from the valgrind toolset for this purpose. Its reports can be viewed with 
KCachegrind and they are very informative. The only disadvantage is that is 
slows down execution by the factor of 8-10 since it virtualizes execution of 
all process'es instructions to estimate accurate number of machine cycles 
needed for execution and to build a good callgraph. The advantage is that 
report is not a statistic based on many snapshots of process state but is an 
accurate estimation of virtually any single function call with a perfect 
estimation of time taken by the function body and of time taken by all its 
callees. Also you can use it on a release build without any modification.
