[Shotwell] Profiling Specific Actions in Shotwell

[Lucas Beeler]

Hi Joe,

I use sysprof (available in the Ubuntu repos). Sysprof's user interface has
gotten worse in recent versions (namely, it's much harder to find the
"drill down" view that shows the call stack for profiled functions), but
sysprof has the advantage that it's a system-wide profiler and you don't
have to do anything special to Shotwell or its Makefile to use it. My
colleague Clint uses gprof, though this requires a little tinkering around
in the Makefile to pass the flags gprof needs through from the Vala
compiler to GCC. Anyway, that's my two cents!

Cheers,
Lucas
