{ AlwaysActive, Disableable };

enum TimerStack::Type

Types of time interval measurements used in TimeReport:

• cpu clock counter called "real". It is fast, high precision, but CPU load from other processes can affect the result
• system process time (/proc/"process id"/stat) called "cpu", is slow (few ms per call), but CPU load from other processes is factored out. FastMonitoring uses only the first one and DetailedMonitoring uses both. Recommend usage:
• slow code fragments (> 10 ms) - DetailedMonitoring
• fast code fragments (microseconds) - FastMonitoring
