gprof... :)

All you have to do is compile your program with -pg, then run it as
usual,
and then run gprof. AFAIK, this is in the FAQ!!!! (although I can't
remember
what section... ;)

One thing about gprof I have noticed though, if your subroutine or
whatever
takes less than 0.0555... seconds to execute, gprof claims it takes no
time
whatsoever to execute. As it is now, I have a program that takes about
1/5 of
a second to run, calling several routines several hundred times, and
none of
them take any time! :)

Leathal.
