I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. Do you mean wrapping all target invokes in a $SHELL? If that's the case, you don't get the actual/real-time measurement, and that might skew your profiling information. I have some build systems that can take easily over 12 hours to do a full build (several thousands of elfs in recursive make calls - I know that's bad, I am working on it), so any extra time waste just for the measurement can mean significant delays in getting the results. If you mean something else, please clarify. Please cc me, I am not subscribed. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
