Concepts

Performance analysis of a running Java application is a broad task which may involve finding algorithmic bottlenecks, detecting memory leaks and looking for concurrency-related problems which all may slow down your program. In other cases, the primary goal of profiling is simply finding a hotspot which may be optimized or rewritten in native code.

Like debugging, profiling adds some additional overhead to performance of the profiled application. This overhead may vary in wide ranges — from nearly zero to very high, depending on the nature of the application and methods used to profile it. Usually, a program being developed suffers from only one of symptoms described above — trying to detect all of them at once may lead to unacceptable performance overhead, and that is why setting up the CodePro Profiler properly is important.
