Fish Disk 48 contains a program called PerfMon which will monitor a program's
execution and then report on the execution times and usage of each routine
in the program.

This consists of two programs, the first takes the output from the MANX
linker and uses the symbol table information to modify the executable so
that a trap is called during entry and exit from each function. This is
used after linking but prior to execution. The second part of the program
runs as a separate task while your program is executing, it basically
catches all the traps that are generated and times each routine (using the
VBLANK clock). Whilst this may not be exactly what you are after, I found
it to be well written and it was easy to understand and modify for my own
uses.

		I Hope this helps.
