[Nautilus-list] new profiler in eazel-tools

["John Harper" <jsh eazel com>]

I've just committed a patch adding an extra profiler to the eazel-tools
cvs module. It's called `prof' and uses stack-frame sampling to give a
real time display of the functions in which monitored processes are
spending their time.

If you have eazel-hacking, rebuild-nautilus then `prof
/gnome/bin/nautilus' to launch the profiler connected to nautilus. It
will connect to any subprocesses started, so if you want that to happen
do `nautilus-clean -x' to kill oafd beforehand.

The profiler doesn't require the programs being examined to be compiled
in any special way, though best results are obtained if they were built
with debugging symbols (-g)

Caveat: it's still somewhat flaky, but is far enough along to be
useful, imho. (also, it currently only works on linux/x86 systems)
