CPU_Usage is a very lightweight library that can be easily incorporated into your application for testing performance. The reading is given as a percentage of CPU time which can be output however you like (serial, tft.. etc).

/media/uploads/dextorslabs/general_use_sample_code.cpp If you are looking to measure the overall CPU Usage, call the working() function at the start of your code, and just call update() any time you want to read the cpu usage value. Easy as that!
If you want to measure the CPU usage of a particular algorithm, place the working() function call before the code, and place the stopped() function call at the end. This limits the measuring purely to the usage of that code. calling update() will then then give you the percentage result.
When creating a CPU_Usage object you pass in 2x arguments. the first is a timer object, and the second is a ballast number (in seconds) precise to a single precision float value. This number can be though of as a smoothing number, play with this number to suit your application.
