Profiling

1. Open AutoCAD
2. Type prof
3. Select a LISP file to profile.
4. Type in an entry function, leave empty and press Enter if the file doesn't have one.
5. Observe profiling results.

Profiling the whole file

Use this method when there's no entry function in your file. For example: when (load "file") loads and runs your program.

Profiling from entry function

Use this method when there's an entry function in your file. For example: when (load "file") loads your program and you follow it up with (entry-func) to run your program.
