Viewing profile — stutter

I agree that saying it's "too hard" is a cop out. But Microsoft doesn't provide the proper tools, that's not a cop out. I don't want to support IE6, but I know that if I don't put …

Point conceded. Though, certainly a +1 for choosing Mac as your primarily development environment; as it can run all the other operating systems you'd care about (:

> Which they do, they've been offering complete VM images with various combinations of Windows and IE for some time, the current offering is XP + IE6, Vista + IE7, Win7 + IE8 and W…

Macs run Windows, Windows don't run OSX. This is why I develop on Mac; it's more versatile. (For web development)

You don't have comments on your blog, so I'll comment here: IE testing is "hard" on a Mac because of the vm requirement, yes. However, that's not even my main issue. If Microsoft f…

Profiling PHP with PHP is kind of humorous, I'll concede. But it can certainly help alert you to slow-running pages, queries, and steps. Which should at least give you a starting p…

I also use XDebug + kcachegrind, but I wouldn't consider that a 'quick' way to identify slow-ups (mainly because of how my set-up looks). I'll agree that manually creating steps ar…

Both are valid points (editing code in order to profile), and you're absolutely right regarding blindly adding profiling wrappers "just because." You can certainly do that, but it'…

Though according to the manual short_open_tag is true by default, this is a valid point. The safer way to write this would have been to open all tags with thanks for the feedback!

as the other two stated, the sleep calls just simulate actual code running, so the profiler produces some output other than 0ms for everything.
