[Server] Script performance testing

How can I detect how fast a function is running using gettickcount??If anyone can give me an example, or if you know another method.

PHP Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)

{

? ? new count = GetTickCount();

? ? //Rest of OnPlayerConnect

? ? printf("Time taken to execute OnPlayerConnect: %d", GetTickCount() - count);

? ? return 1;

}

You just get the tick count at the start of your code and at the end where it is supposed to stop.

Code:

new tickcountstart,tickcountend;

tickcountstart=GetTickCount();

printf("Start: %d",tickcountstart);



CreateDynamicObject(...);

CreateDynamicObject(...);

CreateDynamicObject(...);

CreateDynamicObject(...);

CreateDynamicObject(...);



tickcountend=GetTickCount();

printf("End: %d",tickcountend);

printf("Difference: %d - %d = %d",tickcountend, tickcountstart, tickcountend-tickcountstart);

Using GetTickCount is not the right way to do this at all. It only tells you how long a single piece of code might take to run (and very very very inaccurately). It won't tell you which parts are actually slow, nor which parts are run a lot. You need the profiler plugin.
