TimeProfileBrowser spyOn: ["your code goes here"] The code in the block should take at least 1 second to get a reasonable number of samples. If you need to you can always do something like: TimeProfileBrowser spyOn: [100 timesRepeat: ["your code goes here"]] Keep in mind that spyOn: does its work by sampling the stack at fixed intervals...have a look at the class docs for MessageTally for more details and alternatives.
