I'm trying to figure out how to read the output of pyinstrument. I looked at the User guide, How it works, The readme and searched the issue tracker here but could not find any documentation on it.
I ran pyinstrument ./manage.py print_config (the exact command is not important) and I'm seeing the following output:
Questions that come to my mind:
-
What dies the blue background on function names (and <module>) mean?
-
What do the colors of the numbers at the start of each row mean?
I guess they depend on the bucket that the number lies in, but how are these buckets determined? Is it powers of 2? Is it arbitrary? Can it be influenced?
-
What does [14 frames hidden] mean? Why are the frames hidden?
I know I can use e.g. --show-all to show all frames, but what are the rules used by default to hide frames?
I think some for of documentation should be added that answers these questions
