UdpClient.Receive time

  Hi there,
  
  the current version of ANTS only measures elapsed time. This means that blocking/waiting methods will appear to take a long time. For the next version we plan to add the ability to measure both elapsed and cpu time.
  
  Thanks,

  Ok thanks. So numbers from ANTS are general guidelines but could be off depending on what other threads are doing, other apps are doing, etc???
  
  thanks - dave

  Hi Dave,
  
  The timings should be very accurate, it's just that we may well have a different understanding of what 'time' means. In one case, you're thinking about how much time a method had spent actually performing activity in the processor, but in the case of ANTS Profiler we are talking about the 'real' time that you get by subtracting a method's entry time from its' exit time.

  good point. Unfortunately for multi-threaded apps CPU cycles used is generally much more important than elapsed time. (Also I do other stuff while the profiler is running and that can effect elapsed time.)
  
  thanks - dave

  Can filtering be used to filter out methods that have blocking calls in them? I tried using a custom filter to filter out a method but it seemed to have no effect. -- Bud
