+<p>When the "auto profiler" is enabled, you'll see a report printed at the bottom of your pages containing a list of 
+execution times for all benchmarks you have set throughout your application. This information can help you optimize your program.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Even though this is a feature of the Benchmark class you will enable it from the Output class as indicated below.</p>
+
+<p>To enable the profiler place the the following function anywhere within your Controllers:</p>

+
+<p>When enabled you'll see a table of execution times at the bottom of your pages.</p>
+
+<p>To disable the profiler you will use:</p>
+<code>$this->output->enable_profiler(FALSE);</code>
+
+<p>Important: In order to use this feature all of your marked points must end with <kbd>_start</kbd> and <kbd>_end</kbd>, and
+each pair of points must otherwise be named identically. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
