Limiting performance data collection

Limit performance data collection in order to focus on specific parts of your code and to speed up the profiling process.

• Specify a number of method invocations or an amount of time as the limit for data collection.
  1. In the Profile dialog box, select the Profiling tab and the Limits subtab.

  2. Enter instructions for stopping profiling after a specific number of method invocations or after a specific amount of time.

• Use filters to select packages, classes, or methods to include or exclude.
  1. In the Profile dialog box, select the Profiling tab, and in the Overview subtab click the Edit button.

  2. Select the appropriate profiling type, and click the Next button.

  3. Add a new filter set, or customize the contents of an existing set, to specify what is to be profiled.

  4. Click the Finish button.
