Claim One:
1. A method of estimating performance impact of a computing system component on a transient end-to-end operation comprising: during a transient state in a computing system, performing a first profiling by a computer for a first performance characteristic for a transient end-to-end system operation, and simultaneously profiling a program code component for a second performance characteristic, thereby collecting a first pair of data points comprising the first and second performance characteristics for the first profiling of the default transient; introducing by a computer at least a first artificial delay in to the program code component; performing at least a second profiling during a transient state for the performance characteristic for the transient end-to-end system operation as affected by one or more artificial delays, and simultaneously profiling by a computer the program code component for the second performance characteristic, thereby collecting by a computer at least a second pair of data points, one pair of data points being collected for each repetition of the transient state in which each repetition introduces a different artificial delay such that the data point pairs correspond to each artificial delay amount; performing by a computer curve fitting and intercept analysis on the data point pairs to estimate the transient end-to-end system operation for a hypothetical zeroed response time of the program code component; and providing by the computer the estimate of effect into a user-readable report.
