Frames per Seconds

What is the fastest (and best) way to show Frames Per Seconds in a Unity game?

There’s an FPS script in the Script Tutorial example project (installed in Shared). But this one is nicer imho:

/// This behavior script changest the GUI text on the object 
/// it is attached to to display a frames per second counter.

var updateFrequency = 1.0;

private var oldCount = 0;
private var oldTime = 0.0;
	
while (true) {
	guiText.text = ((Time.frameCount - oldCount) / (Time.time - oldTime)).ToString ("#,##0.0");
	oldCount = Time.frameCount;
	oldTime = Time.time;
	yield new WaitForSeconds (updateFrequency);
}

… create a GUI Text object, then attach this script to it (by dragging it)

Doh, that was a bit silly… I had forgotten about private variables in JavaScript. I’ve edited the script above to simplify it.
