99% of my profiling needs can be solved with VVM. The other 1% is done with 
YourKit.

The problem is, every different profiler/debugger seems to cause a different 
set of anomalies. I guess it all depends on the code they inject into the run 
time. I'll be in Crete in a couple of weeks having a Mythos with Heinz on his 
porch. One of the things we've both run into is changes in run time behavior 
when various tools are attached. So far we've only treated this as a curiosity 
but I think that with the Mythos in hand, we might turn it into something more. 
That said, we will be running a GC log analysis webinar on Tuesday the 24th so 
we might also get side tracked with the fallout of that also. BTW, the webinar 
is free and will be open to anyone that is interested. I'll post a link here as 
soon as I get one from Heinz.

Regards,
Kirk
