The profiler works on exes and dlls (rather than source or object code) and thus eliminates all preprocessing time for extremely fast implementation. The entire profiling operation can be done in just minutes on most apps. The interface is command line or GUI, and the results are displayed in easy to look at charts and graphs. It is a hierarchical profiler, meaning that it shows not only the self-time of any function but it also shows all the calls between parents and children and the time taken by those activities. This allows you to really see where the time is being taken and to spot any architectural flaws. Typically you profile a debug version of your app which includes symbol table information; however, HiProf will also instrument and measure any call site so you can see how much total time third-party components or dlls are taking up (yes, you can measure time taken by MFC components). The profiler's name is HiProf and a 30-day trial version is now available for download from www.tracepoint.com.
