[pypy-dev] profiling pypy

[Olivier Dormond]

Hello,

 First, congratulation to all pypyers for the great work!

 As I've some spare time at work this week, I just tried to profile
pypy running pystone interactively. The interactive session I used
is below and the pickled result can be found bzip2ed at
http://codespeak.net/~odie/profile-results-2005-10-20.pickle.bz2
Any suggestion for improving it is welcome :-) and actually any idea
how to uses these information in any usefull way would be nice too :-)

[pypy/pypy]$ python
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Oct  8 2005, 00:22:59)
[GCC 4.0.1 (4.0.1-5mdk for Mandriva Linux release 2006.0)] on linux2

>>> import lsprof
>>> p = lsprof.Profiler()
>>> try:
...   p.enable(True)
...   execfile('bin/py.py')
... except:
...   pass
