P.S. Are there any profiling tools available for use with Gambit besides plain old gprof?
There's statprof from Guillaume Germain, announced on this list on Jan 24 2005. I'm bundling it with chjmodule ( http://scheme.mine.nu/gambit/chjmodule/ ). As he already says, it's not perfect, it can sometimes be a bit unclear where the time is actually spent when profiling compiled code (for example for recursive calls, or if there are several calculations on one source line - maybe statprof could improve by colouring on a per s-expr basis, but then maybe the collected data isn't good enough, or it's overkill anyway), but it might help.
BTW from what I've read from Brad Lucier's papers, gprof won't help if compiling with single-host, since each module will only show up as one function call in gprof output.
Christian.
