A debugger or profiler should confirm hypotheses and assumptions, not provide optimization data. The question is what to base hypotheses and assumptions on. I had a background in experimental physics before I switched to software, so I tend to favor measuring things. Throughout this thread, you seem to want to avoid measurement, and predict performance from first principals. I don't think you will ever get enough information to do that accurately, but I wish you luck. --jeff XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
