<class name="Performance" inherits="Object" category="Core" version="3.0.2">
	<brief_description>
		Exposes performance related data.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		This class provides access to a number of different monitors related to performance, such as memory usage, draw calls, and FPS. These are the same as the values displayed in the [i]Monitor[/i] tab in the editor's [i]Debugger[/i] panel. By using the [method get_monitor] method of this class, you can access this data from your code. Note that a few of these monitors are only available in debug mode and will always return 0 when used in a release build.
		Many of these monitors are not updated in real-time, so there may be a short delay between changes.

			<description>
				Returns the value of one of the available monitors. You should provide one of this class's constants as the argument, like this:
				[codeblock]
				print(Performance.get_monitor(Performance.TIME_FPS)) # Prints the FPS to the console
				[/codeblock]
