Not in real time, but for post-mortem you can use regular profilers. I 
only have recent experience with valgrind.

For real-time profiling I heard aeons ago about oprofile. No experience 
with it...

I too have to fight the premature optimization urge. But now that I've 
limited time or patience for code trickery it is easier to just focus on 
correct, maintainable code, and leave optimizations for whenever they 
make themselves clearly necessary ;)
