function_profile - get function profiling information for an object array function_profile( object ob ); Returns function profiling information for 'ob', or this_object() if 'ob' is not specified. This is only available if the driver was compiled with PROFILE_FUNCTIONS defined. An array of mappings is returned, one for each function in 'ob'. The format of the mapping is:
       ([ "name"     : name_of_the_function,
          "calls"    : number_of_calls,

          "self"     : cpu_time_spent_in self,
          "children" : cpu_time_spent_in_children
       ])
The usefulness of this is tied to the resolution of the CPU clock--even though the units are microseconds, the CPU timer resolution is often much less. See also: rusage, time_expression Tim Hollebeek Beek@ZorkMUD, Lima Bean, IdeaExchange, and elsewhere
