I don't just mean the total cook time but profiling each instruction, function call to see where the bottleneck is, etc.

Is there a way to do this?

I use print statements for debugging but printing itself is slowing things down considerably to get an accurate timing.

Also is the total cook time for an operator (middle click) accurate enough to do comparisons? i.e. comparing 2 operators solely based on their cook time to see which one is faster?


Thanks

Thanks this should help me a little

Houdini 12 also has some Python hooks to the new Performance Monitor that you can also use for evaluating efficiency inside Python operators. http://www.sidefx.co...hom/hou/perfMon

Thanks Graham, that's pretty amazing. I hope SESI adds a similar thing to VEX/VOPs.
