They only look weird because you dont't understand a pretty fundamental concept: name mangling. Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_mangling > 2) why the total and self times show to be 0.00? > The program takes 15 minutes The 15 minutes are probably spent in system (dynamic) libraries, or waiting for the OS. What does "time ./a.out" say? If the program mostly waits for the OS (system and user time low, wall clock time high), then you can study output of 'strace -T ./a.out' (or whatever its equivalent on OSX is). If user time is high, then your program spends most of its time in system libraries, and you need to find -pg versions of them. Best to ask on Apple-specific groups about profiling such libraries.
