[sldev] 25% of processing time in particle operator= ???

[David Baker]

Hi all,

Just looking back at the profiling output Laurent Laborde posted on 19 March.  I know there are a lot of provisos on using profiling results re overheads of various sorts - however I noticed the following:

> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | + 25.5% LLPointer<LLViewerPart>::operator=(LLPointer<LLViewerPart> const&) (Second Life)
> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 10.3% LLPointer<LLViewerPart>::unref() (Second Life)
> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 10.0% LLPointer<LLViewerPart>::ref() (Second Life)
> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 5.0% mcount (libSystem.B.dylib)
> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 0.0% LLRefCount::unref() (Second Life)
> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 0.0% dyld_stub_mcount (Second Life)
> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 0.0% mcount (libSystem.B.dylib)

Can someone who knows how these reports work better than me please confirm - does this indicate that the viewer was spending 25.5% of its processor time setting pointers to particles equal to each other?  That seems like it is a lot...  Anyone got any way of telling how often this function is being called?

David
