I also wonder, if Pd gurus out there ever considered profiling PureData.
Since there is a debug option to ./configure under linux, maybe there could also be a profiling option. The necessary changes to configure.in and makefile.in are very simple, such as in two attached diffs. If they are applied, one will be able to pass --enable-gprof to ./configure to enable gprof-ready compilation (-pg option to gcc), and also to add another profiling option to gcc with, for example, --enable-gprof=-ax.
I was forced to introduce one nasty (temporary?) hack of -D_exit=exit (see my previous post), however it is used exclusively for -enable-gprof.
