I did try Shark and didn't like that it was profiling everything that
was running. I just want to look at one process from beginning to end.
I also tried Saturn which I liked better, but it seemed it would only
work when running a OS X style app. I want to profile a command line
program and it is a real pain to have to make a carbon app (or
whatever) out of it just so I can profile it (however, I was able to
figure out how to do this using the Absoft IDE, which I do not use
otherwise).
The bottom line for me is that prof is very easy to use and gives me
enough information to speed up my program. These other methods are a
hassle. Also, if I remember right (I did these tests a while ago) the
times reported by Shark and Saturn were different so I didn't know
which to trust.
