3209.0. "kernrate (kernel profiling) problem" by WRKSYS::NISHIMOTO () Fri Mar 14 1997 10:33

	Hello.  I'm doing some kernel profiling and using kernrate
	to determine some "stuff".

	I'm trying to find out why my .dll got a lot slower
	(we added a new version of an internal library and, sure,
	it is the "reason" why the .dll goes slower, but what
	in the new internal library is causing the problem?).

	I'm using kernrate and it looks like it might be able to
	tell me stuff.  However, 25% of my time is spent in `string'.
	And, there is more than on instanace of `string' in the output.

	How can I find out what these `string' references actually
	are?   A lot of my .dll's symbols do show up, and if `string'
	was a lower percentage, I'd ignore it.

	Any hints? 

	Or, should I be using something else?

	Thanks.

Can you post a small example of the kernrate output about "string"?
