ProfileBegin:Void key:String

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
key	In	String	required	The name of the part.

Description

Starts timing a part of the program under a key of your own. The key is a name you choose, in any case, up to 63 characters, and up to 64 keys can be used; a key can not be the name of one of the runtime's items (see ProfileItemName). After ProfileEnd the time is added to the key for the frame, so a part that runs several times in a frame (or is started again later in it) adds up. The time for each frame is read with ProfileValue, listed by ProfileSlow and added up by the report of ProfileFPS, next to the items of the runtime. Without --profile (or -d), or with the timers off (ProfileEnable), this command does nothing.

Differences
