This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When profiling code, the user should be able to enter a description (before, after, or during) of the run, and this information should be persisted in the .nps file. This way, the code can be described (e.g., "run without data cache" and "run with data cache") and results can be archived sensibly.
