public class Example
{
    public static void TimeSynchronousMethodWithMarkers()
    {
        var recorder = Recorder.Get("MyMarker");
        recorder.enabled = true; // Starts measurements

        // Call method which uses MyMarker
        // MyMethod();

        recorder.enabled = false; // Stops measurements and makes data available immediately
        Debug.Log("MyMarker total time, ns: " + recorder.elapsedNanoseconds);
    }
}
