Hi Luis,
Yes, I can go this way, but:
- If the execution time can be integrated in the filter (we accept to have
a new attribute in the filter), then it should be implemented in a common
class of all filters, so the execution time of all filters can be measured
without having to duplicate code.
- If the execution can't be integrated in the filter (because we don't
want of another attribute), then I will have to remove/comment the
corresponding code before submitting the filter, and so measure will be
hard to reproduce
- There is really a problem that I can't locate, and which make ITK use a
significant amount of time. It should be fixed :-)
