Overview
Single Commands or Short Sections
To measure a single command or section of code when developing use Measure-Command to quickly get some performance information
Sample Output
Days : 0
Hours : 0
Minutes : 0
Seconds : 15
Milliseconds : 14
Ticks : 150149931
TotalDays : 0.000173784642361111
TotalHours : 0.00417083141666667
TotalMinutes : 0.250249885
TotalSeconds : 15.0149931
TotalMilliseconds : 15014.9931
Long or complex scripts and structures
To measure specific sections of code in a production script leverage dotnet stopwatch objects which are much more flexible. They can be stopped, started, and cleared at will.
Sample Output
VERBOSE: Step 1 Took 00:00:03.0023588
VERBOSE: Step 2 Took 00:00:05.0012098
VERBOSE: Step 3 Took 00:00:10.0010250
VERBOSE: Odd Numbered Steps Took 00:00:13.0025344
VERBOSE: Entire Function Took 00:00:18.0079912
Rich metrics on loop performance
Stopwatch objects are also especially good for measuring loops
