My understanding is that the profiler in the SDK periodically interrupts the
program and samples the program counter.  Tallies are maintained for various
accesses to memory.  When the program terminates a "profile.out" file is
produced by cross referencing these counts with the map file.

I believe this is what is referred to as a "statistical profiler".  You may
find it useful if you understand how it works and the limitations.

BTW: I found that to successfully run the profiler I had to bump up the
stack sizes (I added a 2 in front of every value in the setup in the IDE).
