Selecting a zone shows its statistics (call count, total time, and more) and a histogram of execution times. +3. Drag a range on the histogram to filter the zone list below to just the entries within that range. +4. Pick one of the zone groupings to highlight that group's time on the histogram. -Alternatively, you can open the Statistics window and click an entry there. This will open the Find zone window as if you had searched for that zone. - -When a zone is selected, a number of statistics are displayed to help you understand the performance of your application. In addition, a histogram of the zone execution times is displayed to make it easier for you to determine the performance of the profiled code. Be sure to select a zone with a large number of calls to make the histogram look interesting! - -Note that you can draw a range on the histogram to limit the number of entries displayed in the zone list below. This list allows you to examine each zone individually. There are also a number of zone groupings that you can select. Each group can be selected and the time associated with the selected group will be highlighted on the histogram. +You can also jump straight to a zone from the Statistics window: clicking an entry there opens Find zone as if you had searched for it.
