Delphi Profiler

The Delphi Profiler provides a set of tools for Delphi programmers. You can use the profiler to determine which parts of your program are taking the most time to run and then concentrate on those parts when you need to make the program faster.

As well as Delphi source code a Frogbit script is supplied - it is not absolutely necessary to use the Frogbit script for profiling but it does make it a lot quicker.

Frogbit is a small programming language and development system for manipulating text files. It is not included in the Delphi Profiler and must be downloaded separately.

The Delphi Profiler icons are available through a sub-menu in your Start/Programs menu under "Delphi Profiler".

One of the icons in the Start/Programs/Delphi Profiler menu is 'Documentation (HTML)' and you are strongly advised to read this before attempting to use the Delphi Profiler.

You will need a web browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer to read this but you don't have to be connected to the web unless you click on one of the links to Frogbit topics other than the Delphi Profiler.

Note that if the .EXE files were not built on installation the 'View Profile Report' icon won't work until you've built the .EXE files by hand - use 'Documentation (HTML)' for more details.
