It depends on the scope of what you want to measure. The
techniques used by tm_basic are good for small things - those
that execute in less than a system tick (typically 10ms), but
using them requires some invasive changes (you have to explicitly
capture start and stop times for a function/segment, etc).
Alternatively, you can turn on system profiling. All this
requires is a [fairly] high resolution timer and some RAM.
There is no need to modify your code directly. The data
is gathered into a RAM buffer and then offloaded (the only
method for this currently uses the network and TFTP). Once
you have the data off the box, it can be analyzed using
standard tools, such as 'gprof'
