[Gambas-user] Profiler for Gambas projects

 I like Gambas because it is very fast to write, and in most cases
it's also fast enough to execute.
 But sometimes I need to do some parts of code with C++, because they
are too CPU intensive
 to Gambas. But what to translate to C++? You can guess, or test with
profiler and actually know.
 Sometimes C++ is even unnecessary when you really know where the bottleneck is.

 You can do very complicated UI and data analyzer to that kind of
program with Gambas.
 Just leave intense computation to C/C++.

 I have many projects, with physics and math, different simulations,
experimental game, etc.
 Non of them do networking or uses database at this moment.
 So, I don't know how much profiler can help you with them, but I
guess in most cases very little.
