Hi Andrew,

I didn't need to write a new kernel module to enable that
thirteen-character shell script, and I don't believe one needs to write a
new kernel module to put a nice easy-to-use GUI around oprofile either.
This is one of those i-cant-believe-im-having-this-discussion discussions.
Sysprof tracks the full stack frame so it can provide meaningful call
tree (who called what) which is invaluable for spotting hot _paths_. I
don't see how oprofile can do that as it tracks instruction pointers only.
