# Performance on Agent Instantiation

> Example showing how to analyze the runtime and memory usage of an Agent.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Python file">
    ```python performance_agent_instantiation.py theme={null}
    """Run `uv pip install agno openai` to install dependencies."""

    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.eval.performance import PerformanceEval


    def instantiate_agent():
        return Agent(system_message="Be concise, reply with one sentence.")


    instantiation_perf = PerformanceEval(
        name="Instantiation Performance", func=instantiate_agent, num_iterations=1000
    )

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        instantiation_perf.run(print_results=True, print_summary=True)
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install dependencies">
    ```bash theme={null}
    uv pip install -U openai agno
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export your OpenAI API key">
