vipsprofile - analyze vips profiles

SYNOPSIS
vipsprofile

DESCRIPTION
vipsprofile(1) analyzes the file written by the --vips-profile option, calculates some statistics, and draws a graph of evaluation. Run any vips program with the --vips-profile option to generate a file called "vips-profile.txt". This contains timing information about CPU use, memory use and thread synchronisation. Run vipsprofile(1) to load this file, calculate some statistics, and draw a graph of evaluation saved to vips-profile.svg. This analysis can help track down performance problems. For example:
  $ vips sharpen shark.jpg x.jpg --vips-profile
  recording profile in vips-profile.txt
  $ vipsprofile
