Start/stop profiling points results are clobbered by underlying CPU instrumentation. Time measured by start/stop profining points contains time spent in profiler runtime classes and in TCP/IP communication with NetBeans.
The worst case (when TA communicate with profiler client) is now fixed. There is still some small discrepancy between time measured between two stopwatches and time reported by CPU profiling. Lowering priority to P3.
