The purpose of this tutorial is to talk about two seperate concepts; profiling and object oriented programming (OOP). In this tutorial we'll create a simple class to allow you to create one or more timers. You can then use these timers to show you how long a script or function takes to run, which can help you determine what portions of your script are eating up the most processing time. This is sometimes referred to as profiling. You can also use timer objects to provide generic timer display in your scripts.
