Thats wrong Im not interested in the time im interested in the number of CPU clocks that are needed. I suppose you could figure out time by inputing the cpu freq * clocks. That would be nice. Or I soppose you are talking about the Time (again) difference when you take into account things like interrupts and DMA. Again WRONG. I want to simply see the number of CPU cycles each instruction takes. Sure I could look up each instruction in the motorola manual but…. Isint that what computers are good for? However the idea you have for a program is a neat one. How about this It would take a source file and patch in jumps out to a timing check. Thus you could have a running count of were the program is spending most of its time! That could come in handy for tweeking a working program!
