Re: [Gimp-developer] gimp-plugin profiling

I'm sorry you didn't get any help. But I would like to note that gprof
is generally not considered a good tool for profiling, especially if
threads are involved. People suggest statistical profilers like perf
(Linux kernel profiler, works in userspace too), gperftools, oprofile,
dtrace (not just a profiler). If you have a mac you can use its GUI
for dtrace. If you are adventurous you can use the Linux equivalents
of dtrace called systemtap and LTTng. Jon Nordby likes gperftools
IIRC, you can analyse its output with kcachegrind. For perf you can
use gprof2dot to get a graphical callgraph instead of the CLI one.
