I expected it to be IO bound when I started on it and as such callgrind output 
isn't really useful.  I presume oprofile works better for that, but I don't 
feel like messing with the kernel modules.  (And I've never touched sysprof.)

When I did try thing under callgrind a couple hours ago the results weren't 
useful at all.  (I don't mean this as a general criticism of the tool; I use 
it quite often, but in this case I find wall-clock times to be more 
interesting and important.)
