RE: Program Profiling and Performance Collection

["Jon Paris" <Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The parameters that you mention (PRFDTA and ENBPFRCOL) while they do enable
to collection of performance data will not help you in your task.  They
collect information for use by the optimizer so that a program can be
optimized based on its usage.  Normal optimization is static - i.e. the
optimizer will do things that it thinks will improve performance.  With
performance data collection, the optimizer looks at how the code is used in
"real life" and optimizes accordingly.  It can (from example) reorder code
so that the most frequently followed branch on an if or select operation is
the first in the sequence regardless of how you wrote the code.

For what you want to do you need to study the performance tools.  I think
the only requirement on the part of the program is that it is compiled for
debug, but it is years since I did that stuff and the performance tools have
changed a lot.

Sorry that I can't help more.
