What does Netbeans profiler's "Self Time" actually mean?

Viewed 7302

I have been interested in time my simple game needs to run so I have used the Netbeans Java profiler (Java 1.7) and I can see the "Self Time" and "Invocations" columns in "Hot Spots" tab.

For example, my render method has:

Self Time: 1025 ms

Invocations: 2311

So, if I understand well, does it actually mean that the TOTAL amount of time of ALL render method invocations together gives 1025 ms and the average time of one method execution is 1025 / 2311 = 0,44 ms?

If so, can I force the IDE to display average times instead of total times?
