Re^2: nytprof Profiler gives diverse results

Is your software available as a distribution that can be reasonably easily installed?

I don't write Perl code on Windows, but I do write a single piece of Windows software for Perl, and since I'm a test-first-mentality type, I have several minimalistic Windows VMs for testing on, and I'll gladly give your code a spin against these extremely stable systems if you want to see the variances against machines that are designed and designated for doing these kinds of things.

Let me know.

Thanks for the offer! I could provide you a zip file with all the necessary code to run the test but I don't think its needed. I distribute this code as an executable (which extracts perl locally and then runs it) Unfortunately the code will be run on general purpose laptops/desktops, where I have no control over what is stealing cycles from my process One of the worst cases I encounter is when I am demoing this code to a prospective customer on a web-Ex And that really seems to slow the whole process down tremendously I also distribute this on linux and have been playing with the profiling there to get a more stable result That VM does give better results varying by 1 or 2 seconds. Although the very useful nytprofhtml is not working for me on that VM :) I guess one thing I was hoping someone might tell me that there is a way to run the perl code as a higher priority windows task	[reply]
