Can I use gprof on the output?
Yes, just use the -pg flag. You should also rebuild the Cyclone libraries and the garbage collector with the -pg flag. The results of gprof make sense because a Cyclone function is compiled to a C function. Notes for Cygwin users: First, the versions of libgmon.a we have downloaded from cygnus are wrong (every call gets counted as a self-call). We have modified libgmon.a to fix this bug, so download our version and put it in your cygwin/lib directory. Second, timing information should be ignored because gprof is only sampling 100 or 1000 times a second (because it is launching threads instead of using native Windows profiling). Neither of these problems are Cyclone-specific.
