[squeak-dev] histogram-based profiling tools on Mac OS X?

Hi All,

    I'm badly in need of a histogram-based profiler for the VM I'm working on.  This is something that produces a histogram of time taken against PC, insead of time taken against function.  The interpreter is a very large function and so function-centric tools aren't (IME) that useful.  I've written ones for BrouHaHa and VisualWorks and will write one again if pushed.  But I wonder whether anyone knows of anything off-the-shelf or close enough to be wroth using as a starting point.  For example, has anyone written a graphing tool in Squeak using Morphic that I could steal for the UI?  Yes I could start with gprof and/or gcov but I find graphical histograms much more immediate and helpful.

TIA
Eliot
