If you're using OSX, then the Shark tool seems to work really well, and is really easy to use. I does not require that you compile in -pg mode. http://developer.apple.com/tools/shark_optimize.html Amos. _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
