Wall time spent in model components

The above plot displays the "wall clock" time spent in each model component as observed in the GEOS-Chem timers output from 1-month benchmark simulations. This type of plot can be very helpful in determining if updates made to GEOS-Chem cause significant computational bottlenecks. Timers output is activated by setting use_gcclassic_timers: true in geoschem_config.yml and is printed to the log file.
