Does anyone have, or know of, a macro/VB/API program which will scan through an assy, run the Feature Statistics function on each component part within the assy and compile a report on which parts & features take the most time to rebuild?

No, but for the right price, I could develop one.

I'll do it for the right price - $1.

Actually they are getting closer every day...

I don't see any reference to feature statistics in the api help. If it was there it would be no problem to do what you ask. In order to manually reproduce this the program would have to:

1 - open the first part
2 - roll back to the first feature
3 - start a timer
4 - rebuild the first feature
5 - stop the timer and send the result to an array
6 - go to next feature and repeat 1-5 for all subsequent features
7 - repeat 1-6 for all parts

This would work, but obviously it would run very slowly and 95% of the results would not be of interest. I suggest an enhancement request to get a feature statistics call added into the api.
 
Stoker ... Why would the part have to be rolled back to each feature?
