Sysprof Profiler a system-wide Linux profiler

Sysprof is a sampling CPU profiler that uses a Linux kernel module to profile the entire system, not just a single application. Sysprof handles shared libraries and applications do not need to be recompiled. In fact they don't even have to be restarted.

It has the following features:

* profiles all running processes, not just a single application

* has a simple graphical interface

* shows the time spent in each branch of the call tree

* profiles can be loaded and saved

You need the sysprof kernel module (provided in sysprof-module-source) to use sysprof.
