| Subject: | improiving docs for useclocktime |
The description for the "useclocktime" option makes it sound useless and
unimportant. Most software on modern computers is I/O bound, so this is
actually a very important feature. I would argue that it should be the
default, but it would at least be good to improve the docs about it.
Here's my suggestion:
useclocktime
Uses real wall clock time instead of CPU time. With this setting,
the profiler will measure time in units of actual microseconds. This is
important if your program does any significant I/O operations, like
database calls or file access, since the time spent waiting for these to
finish will be ignored otherwise. [default: off]
