If you have special knowledge and want us to know, then you
might find it useful to specify it.

I don't understand your point here.  If you think Unix profilers
don't provide useful information that can be used with source
code, you haven't been paying attention and you certainly have
not bothered to find out what they do.  If you wish to argue
about that, read some manuals, try out a Unix profiler, and then
find a suitable forum to discuss it in -- it's my understanding
that this one is aimed at C, whereas profilers and debuggers are
general purpose tools.
