Profiling the shearing sheet example (C)

Try it out this example!

REBOUND has been compiled with emscripten to WebAssembly. This lets you run this example interactively from within your browser at almost native speed. No installation is required. Click here to try it out.

This example demonstrates how to use the profiling tool that comes with REBOUND to find out which parts of your code are slow. To turn on this option, simple set PROFILING=1 in the Makefile. Make sure to run make clean before compiling this example. Note that enabeling this option makes REBOUND not thread-safe.
