Adding a header (even as an option) would probably just confuse people and be a distraction. (Similar to how there are some complaints about specific scores dropping "too much" between major releases.) The one unfortunate problem with Devel::DProf is that it can't follow forks, so what I do is test with mass-check (no -j option), but that actually works quite well. When I need to do a forking test with mass-check -j (for example, testing DNSBL performance in an environment more similar to spamd), I usually rely on time(1) and adding custom timing code to SpamAssassin. export TIME=%e,%U,%S,%F,%R Daniel -- Daniel Quinlan anti-spam (SpamAssassin), Linux, and open http://www.pathname.com/~quinlan/ source consulting (looking for new work) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
