Its been ages so I may have faulty memory. The compiler can generate code to "profile" a piece of code. As I recall the profile included info on number of times a function is entered, total time spent in the function, and maybe min/max times in the function. You only need to add the profile option for the code you are interested in. And perhaps at the link stage also. Jon -- Jon H.
