Monitor performance

The extension can also help you find performance problems.

When you enable the extension on a page, whether it's the standard client or a mashup, it will start recording recalculation times.

Every time an object is revalidated then extension will register time elapsed for recalculation.

It will also count how many revalidations has occured.

If the object is no longer on the screen, the extension will continue to monitor recalculations, so when you re-enable it you will get all the statistics.

Use the extension to monitor calculations.
