profiling

https://drupal.psu.edu/content/memory-profiling-hooks

Wanted to post this to this group as well about my investigation into the memory used by drupal's various hooks in a site that I'm developing. As a result of the monitoring I was able to find ways to either eliminate or mitigate many RAM zapping functions and hooks as well as finding ways to mitigate some other functions (like optimizing the core book module's navigation rendering capabilities).

I used this dropbucket of functions to do the profiling w/ devel to dpm the output dropbucket.org/node/2036

Whew! It's been a hectic couple of weeks, but things are starting to settle down. I'm moving to Austin TX in a couple weeks and I'm excited to be starting a Drupal-based business.

Today Ubuntu released it's new version Ubuntu 10.10 which I'm also excited to try out, and got me thinking about the next version of Quickstart.

What would make Quickstart more useful to you?

I'm interested in Aegir, and want to fix the current install script.

Hello,

For your coding pleasure, we present: Quickstart 0.8 (bittorrent link).

Quickstart is a downloadable virtual machine, containing a pre-configured Ubuntu Linux PHP development environment. Develop and debug LAMP natively, on any computer, without hassle.

QS 0.8 includes updates and bug fixes to QS 0.7. If you're already using QS 0.7, below is a script that will make the bug fixes.

QS 0.8 was also used to make the HOWTO videos on the Quickstart YouTube channel: step debugging, performance profiling, simple email debugging, etc.

What's next for the project? Not quite sure, but I'd love some feedback on how it's being used, and what features or HOWTO videos would be useful.

I hope you find it useful, and thanks for whatever you do for open source,

Mike

Hello,

I just finished wrapping up Quickstart 0.7 (bittorrent).

This version has lots of new features: Email debugging, Performance profiling (with Webgrind), updates to IDEs, etc.

I've also started to put together some screencasts on how to use Quickstart. If you're interested, check out the YouTube channel. More to come...

If you're looking to track down the module which is killing your page load times, you may need profiling. Most people have used xdebug for this in the past with something like webgrind to display the information. Things have gotten easier.

Facebook has developed a PHP extension called XHprof and released it under the Apache license. It comes with a nice sample web interface.
