I had a link to it but lost it and I've been trying to find it since in the labrynith of SL pages on scripting. Basically I want to calculate how long part of my script takes to execute. And then out put it to a list or something where I can view it later. Sorry, I know this is probably a fairly well know thing but I just can't find it right now.

Just put llOwnerSay((string)llGetTime() ) at the start and end of sections you need to time. If you want to dump to a list, then. .....

CODE

list time = [];
default
{
//stuff
time += "Step 1: " + llGetTime();
// More stuff
time += "Step 2: + llGetTime();
//And so forth
integer len = llGetListLength(time);
integer i;
for (i=0;i<=len-1;i++)
{
llOwnerSay(llList2String(time,i));
}
}
