>>VFP 5 has the same problem; I guess it has to do with the precision of functions like SECONDS(). And yes, I agree, it is pretty useless! How can you optimize a function all of whose lines take 0.000 to execute? Why should you? :(

I agree, but usually a 29.565 is built up of many numbers which show up as 0.000, and that´s my beef with the profiler. OK, when it groups numbers it gets better, but it doesn´t help locating the real reason.
