I am using JAMon since its early beginnings and i never turned back to cruel System.currentTimeMillis() and the manual arithmetic afterwards. Instead i am using JAMon which can be simple like this:

import com.jamonapi.*;

public class MonitorTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Monitor mon=null;
        for (int i=1; i<=10; i++) {
            mon = MonitorFactory.start("myFirstMonitor");
            Thread.sleep(100+i);
            mon.stop();
        }
        System.out.println(mon);  // toString() method called
    }
}

With the release of 1.0 a few months ago, the API was extended and some very useful things were added. The only thing i am missing is statistics persistence to some kind of datastore but i think this is allready on the list.

Check out JAMon yourself, its a very nice little helper when checking performance.
NOTE: Its no replacement for profilers, but some things can be done faster and easier with JAMon.
