CryEngine features several methods of analyzing job performance at run-time as well as in offline mode.
The console command Profile1 displays information of individual jobs and their execution time.
The feature should be used to get a rough overview. For a more detailed per frame analysis of data please refer to using the Statoscope tool.
(Note: Do not worry about the frame timings in this picture. The screenshot was taken in windowed + out of focus mode on PC)

sys_job_system_profiler 1
Its broken down into 3 main sections:
As you will notice, the execution time of the jobs is very fast, so you can pause the display at anytime (when in-game) with the Scroll Lock Key.
sys_job_system_profiler 2 is just the execution graph by itself.
sys_job_system_filter
You can filter out particular systems from being displayed to clean up the display and make it easier to read.
Eg: So if you were to type... sys_job_system_filter CBrushRender,WaterUpdate
You will remove these from the view. To add them back in, simply remove them from the above line.
More than one job can be filtered by using a comma like the example above.
sys_job_system_max_worker
This sets the number of threads to use for the job system.
sys_job_system_dump_job_list
Print to the console a list of the available "jobs"
