Profiler

Note: Profiler no longer works as of WoW 2.0.

Profiler is a Lua profiler for analyzing your addon code for slow spots and areas for optimization. It records the number of times a function was hit and an aggregate time of how much time has been spent in that function.

You hook the methods you want to profile with:

/profiler profile functionTable

where functionTable is a Lua table containing the functions. This is very easy if you write your Lua code like:

myFunctions = {}

function myFunctions.foo()
   ...
end

function myFunctions.bar()
   ...
end

Then you would just do:

/profiler profile myFunctions

Do some stuff, then:

/profiler report

You can download it here. Type /profiler help for help.
