KCacheGrind
Description
KCachegrind is a visualisation tool for the profiling data generated by calltree, a profiling skin for valgrind. Applications can be profiled using calltree without being recompiled, and shared libraries and plugin architectures are supported.

For visualising the output from other profiling tools, several converters can be found in the kcachegrind-converters package.

This package is part of KDE, and a component of the KDE SDK module. See the 'kde' and 'kdesdk' packages for more information.

a handy tool for profiling app performance

I used KCacheGrind to view profile information from valgrind/callgrind and the interface made it easy to find out what functions take up most of the processing time.
