Stopwatch is designed for this purpose, and is one of the best way to measure time execution in .NET.
Examples
Here is a simple usecase.
var watch = System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch.StartNew(); // the code that you want to measure comes here watch.Stop(); var elapsedMs = watch.ElapsedMilliseconds;
Do not use DateTimes to measure time execution in .NET.
“It is worth mentioning that DateTime.Now often is quite a bit slower than DateTime.UtcNow due to the work that has to be done with timezones, DST and such.
DateTime.UtcNow typically has a resolution of 15 ms. See John Chapman’s blog post about DateTime.Now precision for a great summary.”
You can also check multiples times before you stop the watcher.
long step1ElapsedMilliseconds; long step2ElapsedMilliseconds; var watch = System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch.StartNew(); // the code that you want to measure comes here 1/2 step1ElapsedMilliseconds = watch.ElapsedMilliseconds; // the code that you want to measure comes here 2/2 step2ElapsedMilliseconds = watch.ElapsedMilliseconds; watch.Stop(); Debug.Log("Execution time for step 1 in m: " + step1ElapsedMilliseconds ); Debug.Log("Execution time for step 2 in m: " + (step2ElapsedMilliseconds - step1ElapsedMilliseconds) ); Debug.Log("Total Execution time in ms: " + watch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
