In nearly every project you have the need to do some simple profiling. Scala makes this very easy and flexible.
Let's assume we load a potentially large XML file:
def loadDataFile(name:String) = ....
Now instead of adding a lot of timing code to your application we can simple do:
import Profiling._
val data=timed(printTime("loaded XML in ")){
loadDataFile(name)
}
Here is the code of that small utility:
