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).
