I have looked at our existing tools and am at a bit of a loss. I do not think that I quite understand what code we currently do have, what that code is missing, and what I need to be doing. Profiling is not an area where I have huge expertise and I have not been able to make any progress whatsoever. I talked with cotto about this on IRC and he suggested he might try to spearhead the issue. I am willing to write whatever code is necessary, it's somebody figuring out what is necessary that is giving me a hard time. >> 3.

We don't have anything written down anywhere (Where would we even write it, RESPONSIBLE_PARTIES? CREDITS?), but unless anybody else desperately wants the position, it's filled by cotto and I. How do you propose we formalize? --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
