Hi,
Trying out the profiling on an Eclipse plug in, and getting some delays of 650 to 800ms that I cannot see the reason for. So then I tried the Jobs example (org.eclipse.ui.examples.jobs), clicked on 'busyCursorWhile' and looked at the results. The same delays appear.
The example sits in a loop sleeping for 15ms and reporting progress, but every so often, a method will take about 700ms, even though the 'Cumulative time' shows only say 200ns.
There are only two threads shown, main and ModalContext, and nothing is going on in the other thread while the delay occurs. Is there a way to find out what the processor is doing in this time, and has anyone else noticed this?
This is on Windows XP, profiling 'Eclipse Application', and collecting execution time with graphical analysis, and a filter of org.eclipse.ui.examples.jobs*
Regards
David Read.

Do you run your application using the Remote Agent Controller service? To
verify this, open Task Manager and look for RAServer.exe

No, it's running with the Local Direct Connection. I do have both the old and new Agent controller installed on the machine, but neither are running at the time.
Can I mail you the results file? It's 278K so I'm not sure if that appropriate for the newsgroup.

Does anyone have any observations on this?
I have tried doing the same test on another computer (Windows XP Pro), and it clearly shows the same behaviour - with the program alternating between running for 3/4 of a second, and pausing for 3/4. You can see the pauses on the progress monitor bar, whereas running without profiling, the progress is smooth. Perhaps it is something to do with the UI, but I would like to know where the time is going.
