I've been playing with the profiler and have been rather successful in
making my code run faster. So for my best success has been cutting a
three second CPU time run down to about 0.45 seconds.
Unfortunately, the same application seems to take about 8 to 12 seconds
real-time. I know that some of that time is lost to file IO and
external sub processes but I don't know how much.
Is there any way to change the profiler to measure elapsed time and not
CPU time? 2 1907

I don't know about the profiler, but there's a couple of things you
could do to try and figure out what's going one (all of these assume a
unix-like environment):
First, use the "time" command to run your program, like this:
Roy-Smiths-Computer:unit$ time ./TargetUnit.py ........ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 8 tests in 1.064s
OK
real 0m1.340s user 0m0.960s sys 0m0.100s
That should give you a rough idea what's going on.
If you have some ideas where the time might be spent internally, you can
use the os.times() function to gather time snapshots around areas you
suspect of being slow.

unfortunately, the programs in question are CGI's and servers. I need
something networks inside the program.

when it comes to program performance measurement, guessing usually gives
you a wrong answer since my request for profiling that measures elapsed
time.
unfortunately, I may need to do as you suggest in place time functions
throughout the code.

We are using HP aCC compiler on a HP Itanium box ( 11.23)
We are having some severe performance hits using exception

The online aCC documentation says:
HP aC++ exception handling has no significant performance impact at
compile-time or run-time.
We have not found this to be the case at all.

I am using graphics as backgrounds for forms,buttons,labels etc.
The question is: is it faster to load all graphics from files on app start
or
to use it embeded (places in editor during design).
Reason for my question is that application has 5mb, while without graphics
it has cca 400kb.
Graphic files (bmps) take about 200kb (in program, they are repeated many
times, ie almost all labels (around 200) have same background image)).

in the belief that the topic is of interest to some in both groups.
I am building my toolkit, in support of my efforts in producing high
performance C++ code; code that is provably correct. The issue here
is orthogonal to the question of expression templates, which at
present seem to me to be relatively simple.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
