Chapter 10. Profiling
Profiling is monitoring the resource usage of an application with the aim of detecting areas for improvement. One of the difficulties in profiling is choosing a tool which provides useful data without having too great an impact on performance itself. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the OProfile tool is available for profiling the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, requiring less system resources that other profiling tools.
