WHY oprofile
============
http://performancewiki.com/oprofile.html
"If you are performance-testing applications on Linux, then you would want to know oprofile. It is the equivalent of similar tools like tprof on AIX.
oprofile isn't hard to use at all, and quite the opposite from what people think, it is easy to use, and it casues low overhead on your system. In most instances, you will only use two of the commands that oprofile provides: opcontrol and opreport. The opcontrol command configures oprofile and manages the kernel and userspace profiling components, while the opreport command generates reports.
You can read the manuals to know more about the tool on its web site, but here are several usages that can get you start right away (after you installed it)."
