In the Profiling Tool, time measurements can be shown in clock time or CPU (processor) time. Clock time differs from CPU time because thread context switches and process context switches introduce uncertainty into the calculations. Clock time does not account for this additional physical execution behavior.
All time units are in seconds.
There are two means of measuring time for a method or an object:
