Hello.

Take a look at:
_ devel/valgrind (callgrind tool), possibly with devel/kcachegrind to 
analyze the results;
_ devel/google-perftools;
_ something is also included in base system (llvm-cov), altough it's 
better suited for code coverage.

Sorry to be vague, but I last used them some time ago and I don't 
remember the details right now.

HTH.
