1. In Finder, Double-click to launch /Developer/Applications/Instruments.app
2. Select “UI Recorder” for new document

   • Configure UI Recorder to NOT Record Mouse Move, Drag
5. Open Library from Toolbar
6. Select Activity Monitor instrument (e.g., type “act” in Search field)
7. In Instrument, select [i] and choose:
   • Sample Rate: 2
   • Net Bytes In Per Second
   • Disk Bytes Read Per Second
   • Disk Bytes Written Per Second
   • % User Load

Assuming you have already started the app from the last post:

1. Type http://localhost:3000/articles into address bar
2. Click on “New article”
3. Enter title and contents
4. Click “Create”
5. Click “Back”
6. Select “Destroy” for that record
7. Quit Safari # ends recording

Finally, zoom into Track to fill window, to show individual actions.

If you’re brave, click “Drive [& Record]” to show that it recorded properly. I haven’t gotten that to work consistently yet, though…
