I've had the same experience, but I'm pretty sure the profiler was working correctly. The thing is, I only got there after caching absolutely everything else that was going on in the request. At that point, TT was taking about 0.1 seconds to handle a complex template with formats and dozens of includes. Not bad at all really, and most of it was Stash hits which should get better with the C Stash or something similar. - Perrin
