Class ThreadTimer

java.lang.Object
  util.ThreadTimer

public final class ThreadTimer
extends Object

Class that allows per-thread timing that excludes GC time. This class is thread safe. The class is used by instantiating a new object at each "tick" The time between two ticks (exclusive of GC time) can then be calculated using the static method elapsedTime(). Note that this class requires the use of a stop-the-world collector (as it assumes that no mutator activity occurs while the GC is running)
