Smarty

I really like the feature that shows me how long the various parts of the template took to load (e.g. files). However, this level of detail is not enough and I frequently resort to microtiming stuff. It would be really great if the smarty debug window would offer more info about the currently generated page:

- which loops took how long (while, foreach etc)
- which query took how long

Thanks!

Have you thought of using a PHP code profiler?

No, not really. Zend seemed a bit expensive right now. Can you recommend one? That would be very helpful!

Thanks!

The point is, Smarty isn't really the place to be putting profiling code, it has performance costs. You won't get your query times from Smarty anyways. A php-level debugger would be the best place to profile your code. The Smarty compiled templates should show up there as well. I don't have a recommendation, you'll have to do some research.
