SimpleProfiler

SimpleProfiler is a small utility for capturing coarse performance signals:

• Wall-clock duration (based on DateTime.Now)
• Managed memory delta (based on GC.GetTotalMemory(false))

It is intended for quick, low-friction measurements (debug logging, ad-hoc comparisons), not for high-precision benchmarking.

Quick usage (using)

The easiest pattern is to run the profiler as a disposable "scope":

using Garyon.Mechanisms;

var profiler = new SimpleProfiler();

using (profiler.Run())
{
    DoWork();
}

var results = profiler.SnapshotResults!;
Console.WriteLine($"Time: {results.Time}, Memory: {results.Memory} bytes");

Manual usage

If you prefer explicit control:

using Garyon.Mechanisms;

var profiler = new SimpleProfiler();
profiler.Initialize();

DoWork();

profiler.End();
var results = profiler.SnapshotResults!;

Notes and caveats

• GC.GetTotalMemory(false) reports an estimate and can fluctuate due to GC timing and allocations performed by unrelated code.
• DateTime.Now is convenient and widely available, but it is not a high-precision timer. For micro-benchmarks, prefer dedicated benchmarking tools.
