Detecting performance bottlenecks

You can detect bottlenecks and other performance problems by collecting execution history data as you run your application. This data, displayed in the Performance Call Graph and Method Details view, provides information that helps you determine which methods are slowing down the application’s performance.

The following topics provide specific instructions:

Collecting performance data
Begin performance analysis by collecting execution time analysis data for a profiling run.

Viewing and analyzing performance data
The primary views for viewing and analyzing performance data are the Performance Call Graph and the Method Details views. You can supplement these with the Package Statistics, Class Statistics, Method Statistics, Method Invocation, Method Invocation Table, Execution Flow, Execution Flow Table, and the UML2 Sequence Diagram views.
