Hi all,

Is there a reason behind the fact that the Python profilers work with Wall time by default? There are OS-dependent ways to get the CPU time of a thread, and giving that choice to the user somehow ( to use wall vs cpu time) might be a good feature?

What would you use for linux for example?

Cheers, fijal
