There’s not really any news as such because the timings are as they are supposed to be. I would like to clarify some things. Can I ask what you meant by “ANTS cuts all the time used for the framework functions awayâ€. This isn't true - the profiler records all time taken for methods if you are profiling with the default option.
Well it is true if you look at the Time(s) column (not the Times with childs column!). In Ants 3 the Time(s) column showed the complete execution time of a method including framework calls but excluding your own child functions (that is exactly what we are interested in - how long takes the longest method and how can I optimize them).
Surely you can now use the "Time with childs column" but there is a big problem associated with it -> first I have to walk down the whole tree to find the functions which only has framework calls left and no other child functions - thats very time consuming in our case.
In ANTS 3 I simply sorted by Time(s) and got the longest performing methods without having to worry about any child functions.
But since ANTS 4 sees all the internal framework calls as child functions you really don't see how long a specific method takes you in the Time(s) column... so thats why the Time(s) is mostly below 0.001s anyway and not of any use at all...
I hope you understand what we need and why for that Ants3 is much better now to use .
Hopefully you can bring an option back in Version 5 to also calculate the framework functions in the Time(s) column again, because as of yet we don't use Ants 4, even though its much faster and better overall. / comments

Any news on this?
We did some heavy benchmarking today and I have to say we always got back to ANTS 3, simply because finding the longest performing methods was a pain in ANTS 4.
We don't need to optimize deep into the code (thus we dont need the call graphs as of yet), we just seek out the core functions and improved them through caching etc. With that we could reduce the time of the program code greatly.
I really hope you can add this features for the time (s) back into ANTS 4... because at the moment the time(s) is not useful in any way, since it cuts all the time used for the framework functions away...
Even though we love the speed of the new ANTS and everythig else... for us the upgrade was not worth it yet [image] / comments

I see but with the old version I just pin pointed big bottlenecks in a matter of seconds, just by sorting the methods by Time (s). Surely for more detailed optimisations the new way is much better...
However since we are using many DataSet, XML functions from the framework ANTS 3 showed us all the the bottlenecks in the DataSet.Select statements etc. in a very easy way.
So how could I change ANTS 4 to perform the same? So when I sort by time (s) it actually shows me how long a specific method performs including all code (especially all my dataset/framework calls) except child functions - thats how ANTS 3 did it... but I cant find any setting to make it same in ANTS 4 [image]
Thanks alot for the quick answer, kind regards,

Problem/Bug with Time summaries in ANTS 4!
Hello!
I have been a User of ANTS 3 the last years and just recently switched to lates version of ANTS 4 now. So far ANTS 4 is awesome because it is really much faster in profiling. However there i...
