    The RTSM shows an instruction count at the top of it's LCD window, but it does not try to keep track of cycles and does not have PMU counters.  Counting the cycles would slow it down too much.

    You could consider getting one of the many cheap Linux boards: BeagleBoard, PandaBoard, Snowball, Overo, Origen (to name a few that are supported by Linaro).  Then you could use tools like Streamline to analyse performance, although it still won't be easy to get the number cycles for a single application?
