Attached patch timing component (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This registers early on and starts timing js calls..Any call slower than 1ms is flagged. 
Calls are printed out to console in a "stack" form. This is achieved with a counter(gMeasureDepth) which tracks nesting level(not thread safe). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Sample output:
496ms     CallHook (anonymous) chrome://browser/content/WidgetStack.js:1177 1.1ms
500ms     CallHook (anonymous) chrome://browser/content/WidgetStack.js:1177 1.3ms
500ms      CallHook (anonymous) chrome://browser/content/WidgetStack.js:1281 1.3ms
500ms     CallHook (anonymous) chrome://browser/content/WidgetStack.js:1177 1.6ms
500ms    CallHook (anonymous) chrome://browser/content/WidgetStack.js:308 6.2ms
500ms   CallHook WidgetStack chrome://browser/content/WidgetStack.js:255 6.2ms

Is it possible to just walk the JS stack frames up to the root and count them to compute the stack depth?  I know you can do this from JS so I assume it's possible from C++ as well.  This will be a little bit slower, but it ought to be threadsafe.  Just a thought.
i'd rather use tls or something for the counter, since it's handy to be able to place these into C++ code and see when they are called from js

This version should work pretty well. It still doesn't do TLS, but I haven't had to time stuff across threads yet, so it's ok.
To use set MOZ_STOPWATCH environment variable, when it's not set the component doesn't do anything.

This is a little bit of a hack. It enables the timing component to be notified when a fastcall is run. This is useful when there is dom code(which often uses fastcalls) where a dom method is taking up most of the time, but it's unclear which. This made solving the resize issue much easier.
This is another convenience, to use it get a log for something you want to analyze fennec js overhead in, then run the script. This does a frequency count and duration of js function calls.

Don't think it is still relevant!
