No, I was talking about code size here. Hopefully this will available soon.

I compiled a profiling enabled KDE version - it's not worth the effort. It's
difficult to interprete the result, and not quite clear if it does the right
thing. I stopped using it, and fell back to my own method (Pentium machine
specific registers, count the clock cycles. Not totally exact because of
multi-tasking, but gives good results. Unfortunatly, all of this stuff was lost
on friday - I have to re-write all of this. Next time, I will make regular
backups of the whole filesystem and not only my parts of my  homedirectory :-(
