    What is it for?

    It is intended for advanced users to measure per-plugin / per-function (including internal game function) performance.

    See an example of the final report attached to this post.

    Description:
    Provides an easy way to run a valve profiler with one single command and save a log to a separate file.

    This is actually a shortcut for "sm prof*" + some internal game commands.

    This is the only correct way to run profiler for L4D series games without a crash. For details, see the issue.
    EDIT. That bug was fixed in SM v1.11.6726.
    Graph includes:
    - Game + plugin functions call stack
    - Function list sorted by max number of total calls
    - Function list sorted by Avg time/Frame
    - Function list sorted by Avg time/Call
    - Function list sorted by Avg time/Peak
    - All of the above separately with / or without children calls
    WARNING
    - Be careful, if you install it on the Live server! Stopping the profiler will cause a significant lag due to the analysis process. Actually, it can freeze you > 10 sec.
    - You may want to disable a watchdog by putting the following argument in server startup options, otherwise the server can exit with timeout (thanks to peace-maker for the suggestion):
    Code:
    -nowatchdog
    and possibly, "SlowScriptTimeout" "0" in /sourcemod/configs/core.cfg
    - It's better to run the profiler for a short period of time.
    - The longer it is running, the longer the analysis process will take.
    Direct analysis of profiler logs is not provided in this topic.
    Create your own topic in "General" section of the forum to get some help.

    Requirements and Compatibility:
    - SourceMod v1.11.6726+
    - Any SM compatible game
    - Carefully read "WARNING" section above !!!
    ConVars:
    - Nothing

    However, there are other game ConVars you may want to check on your own:
    Code:
