I have a question about the fields that are printed out by ACL 4.3.2
(prof:show-flat-profile) command. In particular, what do the "self secs"
and "total secs" columns present, and how is it different from the "% Time"
columns?
I enclose an example of a profile below. I have looked in the user manual,
pp 11-13
to pp 11-15, but it doesn't really say anything about this.
> (prof:show-flat-profile)
Sample represents 99.2 seconds of processor time (out of a total of 99.2)
Times below 1.0% will be suppressed.
% % self total self total Function

Thanks in advance for any hints,
