Hi
I am lookign for good and reliable profiling tools that work on
FreeBSD. I am using gprof but am wondering if there are better tools
out there. Also is there any GUI on top of gprof
Thanks for any answers

In our development environment, we currently use:
- gcc with every possible warning turned on (-Wall is not enough)
- gprof for function level profiling
- dmalloc for memory leak detection
- valgrind (doesn't work on FreeBSD-64 though)
- cachegrind (part of valgrind) for cache hit/miss profiling
