5.3.3 The performance monitor

The Performance Monitor is a facility for recording the consing behavior of individual functions and for determining where these functions spend their execution time. It also records the number of times a function is called. You can use the Performance Monitor to locate code that needs to be revised for your application program to run efficiently. If a small amount of code takes up a large percentage of your program's run-time, you should make certain that you are using the most efficient algorithm to perform the task.
