Description
The monthly docs page for [https://manual.gamemaker.io/monthly/en/#t=IDE_Tools%2FThe_Debugger%2FThe_Profiler.htm](The Profiler) says under the Time Display and View Target sections that the times displayed in the profile are microseconds. They aren't - they're in milliseconds. If you want to see for yourself I've attached a sample project - the waste_time() function is setup to remain in a while loop for approx 1 second with the use of the get_timer() command.

(Edited for more descriptive screenshot) This is what the output looks like - notice the average function runtime is much closer to 1000 than it is to a million.
