PW Core
Summery
PW Core is the core component of PluginWatcher, which resides at the plugin core of the Firefox browser. The intended purpose of PW Core is to time how long it takes plugins (such as Macromedia Flash, Windows Media Player, Acrobat Reader etc...) to execute their calls and then report the runtime (in milliseconds) using the Mozilla Observer service to anyone registered to receive PluginWatcher's notifications.
