You can find the General performance monitoring options under Plugins-->Plugin Options...-->XQuery-->General First of all you can enable or disable monitoring of performance altogether. This will also influence Adapter specific options if they are related to performance monitoring. If monitoring is enabled you can choose to save the monitoring output to file(A pop-up, prompting where to save the file, will appear when you wish to evaluate). Regardless of your choice to save the performance to file you can choose between four different display options.
Do not display
Open performance output in a new buffer
Open performance output in the InfoViewer plugin (for HTML output)
Open in an external program which you can specify. This specification works the same way as it would when you start the program from the commandline. The performanceoutput destination is specified using <p>. e.g: ooffice <p> will open the performanceoutput in ooffice. jEdit <p> will open the performanceoutput in a new instance of jEdit.
