Hey all,
I'm trying to get my patch installation ready and I'm seeing weird CPU spikes that seem to be unrelated to what is happening in the patch, I don't see any pattern, it just jumps to 100% once and a while, and stays there for longer and longer.
I don't think its a memory leak (anyhow I'm only using half my ram ATM).
Is there a way to do the OSX "shark" thing, to profile what functions are using all the CPU cycles so I can narrow down this issue?
I tried valgrind, but that seems really memory management stuff...
Thanks all. b.

The closest equivalent to Shark is probably Intels vTune ($$$), but AMD makes a free profiler called Code Analyst which they offer for Windows and Linux. I use it on Windows and while it's not nearly as good as Shark, it does give you a better idea about what is going on. You don't need to do anything special to the profiled app.

oprofile is a wonderful profiler for linux ...

Wah I don't know what any of these "events" are, what am I looking for in terms of CPU usage? (CPU_CLK_UNHALTED?)
Thanks Tim.

to profile cpu usage, just use the defaults ...
