Timing output from all structures

[Intaris]

Having read THIS thread I realised that nearly the only time I ever use a sequence structure is to time code.

Then I thought, why shouldn't the Sequence structure have a timing output node (selectable) so that we don't have to manually do this every time we want to test code speed.

Then I thought a bit further and thought, why not have this for ALL structures, it's such a useful tool, it could be used for For loops and while lops too.

I would envisage the output for EACH iteration of a loop where appropriate (Array output for Loops, scalar output for sequence frame)

I believe this is the same as this idea:

which I think is better in that the timing probe is more general.

Similar effect but I wouldn't say they are equivalent.  Advantage of the output from a structure is that the data is available at run-time if needed.  Probes don't do that.

Chris in Colorado,

Slow down on posting in all the ideas.  You don't need to make a post that really doesn't say anything on every idea you agree with.  Just hit the Kudoes button if you agree.
