[Mars-sim-users] Mars-sim profiling project

[Jake Sebastian-J. <jak...@st...>]

Hi there!

I was looking for a profiling project as part of the metrics component
of my software eng. degree. I thought I would try and profile mars-sim
as I tried to use it a year ago or so and gave up because it was so
slow.

So I downloaded an ran the jar, but it is still so slow on my machine
(the simulation doesn't load and the process gobbles up CPU). I think
that this must actually be a bug in the way the sim runs on my machine,
unless I am _supposed_ to wait ten mins for the sim to load (something I
have not tried)

tl;dr I would love to profile mars-sim for my assignment - I just cant
get it to launch a sim.
