I have added instructions for using callgrind here:
<http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/FurtherHelp#profile>. It records function calls
and lets you explore them hierarchically.
I found callgrind very useful for understanding how LyX works, not just
for profiling. Unlike other profilers, it works without the "prof" or
"gprof" compilation options, so no need to recompile. One can also
record only a specific time frame.
If somebody could accept the URLs on the wiki (or give me a password),
thanks.
