+# How to do profiling
+
+## Build with profiling enabled
+Either edit src/Makefile.default or start make like this:
+```
+PROFILING=1 make -f Makefile.yourOS
+```
+
+## Advice
+neucoin uses a lot of CPU (mostly scrypt) while reading the block database
+during startup. This might bias the tests you are doing, so it is best
+to first collect profiling data of a startup sequence and copy this
+away to not be overwritten. Then start neucoin again and actually do
+your test. Later you can use the data from the startup sequence to
+calibrate your test data.
