“ DTrace is one of those tools that makes you wonder how you did anything without it before you'd heard of it. Why is it better than strace and similar tools? It's non-invasive, fast, scriptable and extensible.” - Wez Furlong Find Hampster Wheels with DTrace Dtrace provider for PHP

Performance Tuning Which functions are being called by Drupal? # dtrace -n function-entry'{printf("called %s() in %s at line %d ",copyinstr(arg0), copyinstr(arg1), arg2)}' -q How many times is a function called? # dtrace -n function-entry'{@[copyinstr(arg0)] = count()}' What's the file name and line number count: # dtrace -n function-entry'{@[copyinstr(arg1)] = lquantize(arg2, 0, 5000)}' Dtrace provider for PHP
