The value of this variable should be a number between 0.0 and 1.0. It is used as a significance threshold by the profiler display functions, show-call-graph and show-flat-profile. These functions will suppress reporting of each function whose contribution compared to its immediate caller is less than this value (and, presumably, considered insignificant). The values compared for both the function and its immediate caller is the recursive sum of the contribution by the function and all of its callees. The initial value of this variable is 0.02.
This variable only affects display of profiler data, not the collection of data. If you want to see more or less, redisplay after resetting this and other profiler display variables as desired.
The value of this variable and the other profiler display
variables, *hidden-packages*, *hidden-functions*, *hidden-space-functions*,
and *significance-threshold*, can be reset to
their initial values by reset-profiler-display-defaults.
See profiling.htm for general information on profiling. Note that the profiler is not available with some Allegro CL products.
The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
