Hotspots View

The Hotspots view displays a list of all instruction calls that lie above the threshold defined in the XSLT/XQuery profiler settings. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened by selecting it from the Window > Show View menu.

By opening a hotspot instruction entry, the tree of back-traces leading to that instruction call are calculated and shown.

Every hotspot is described by the values from the following columns:

• Instruction - The name of the instruction.
• Percentage - The percentage number for this hotspot entry with respect to the total time.
• Time - The inherent time in milliseconds or microseconds of how much time has been spent in the hotspot. All calls into this instruction are summed up regardless of the particular call sequence.
• Calls - The invocation count of the hotspot entry.

If you click the handle on the left side of a hotspot, a tree of back-traces will be shown.

Every entry in the backtrace tree has textual information attached to it that depends on the XSLT/XQuery profiler settings:

• A percentage number that is calculated with respect to either the total time or the called instruction.
• A time measured in milliseconds or microseconds of how much time has been contributed to the parent hotspot on this call-path.
• An invocation count that shows how often the hotspot has been invoked on this call-path.
  Note: This is not the number of invocations of this instruction.
• An instruction name that also contains its attributes.
