Hello,
I try to use TPTP profiling tools to trace and monitor
my application running in another Eclipse workbench just
like the demo. however, i encounter the following problem.
If I run my application without being monitored, it takes
about, let's say 10 sec to complete a method call. If it's
monitored, it takes much longer to execute. In this case,
it cannot show the exact performance of my application, so
how can I analyze the data collected, and what can I do
about it?
Thanks,
Lee.

Profiling a run-time workbench can be quite slow if you don't filter out
the unwanted data.
To make things faster, you should filter out all the information you're
not interested in by modifying the filters specified in your profiling
set. Simply, click on the 'Profiling' tab, in the 'Overview' sub-tab,
select your profiling set, click on 'Edit', click on 'next', select only
the profiling options you're interested in (selecting the graphical
details option can also slow things down), click 'next', specify your
filter set.

Hello,
David, Marius, thanks for your quick response, i appreciate it.
in regarding to the filters, i do add my own filter set, which
actually contains one class since i am interested in monitoring
a method invocation of that class. and what does the method do
is retrieve some data from database and display them on the UI.
the problem is if i limited the row retrieved, it is ok. but if
i retrieved 5000 records as i did yesterday, the time that the
application displays the result on the UI are much slower when
it is monitored.
without monitoring, it takes about 10-15 sec to see the results.
with monitoring, it takes about 45-60 sec to see the results.
Lee.

Yes, well, obviously your application will run slower when it's being
profiled because there's the extra overhead involved in profiling your
application, but as Marius has suggested the performance times displayed
in our views are still *correct*, since we subtract the overhead involved
in profiling from the the overall execution of your application when it's
being profiled.

Lee,
What's your jvm heap size? When your application retrieve more records
(5000 in your case), the jvm may allocate more phyical memory. And, if
it is bigger than the heap size, the jvm may spend too much time on
garbage collection. If you are using default setting, one thing you can
try is to increase the heap size by -Xmx argument.
BTW, did you try remote monitoring? Would it reduce the monitoring overhead?
