67 | <P> | |
68 | This module provides a nicer interface to the <tt class="module">_hotshot</tt> C module. | |
69 | Hotshot is a replacement for the existing <tt class="module"><a href="module-profile.html">profile</a></tt> module. As it's | |
70 | written mostly in C, it should result in a much smaller performance impact | |
71 | than the existing <tt class="module"><a href="module-profile.html">profile</a></tt> module. | |
72 | ||
73 | <P> | |
74 | <div class="warning"><b class="label">Warning:</b> | |
75 | ||
76 | The <tt class="module">hotshot</tt> profiler does not yet work well with threads. | |
77 | It is useful to use an unthreaded script to run the profiler over | |
78 | the code you're interested in measuring if at all possible. | |

87 | The profiler object. The argument <var>logfile</var> is the name of a log | |
88 | file to use for logged profile data. The argument <var>lineevents</var> | |
89 | specifies whether to generate events for every source line, or just on | |
90 | function call/return. It defaults to <code>0</code> (only log function | |
91 | call/return). The argument <var>linetimings</var> specifies whether to | |
92 | record timing information. It defaults to <code>1</code> (store timing | |
93 | information). | |
