The MKS Toolkit has a programme called prof which profiles execution times.
It works on .exe format files and the modules must contain a symbol table
produced by CodeView or Plink86.  It's possible to create this kind of
symbol table from a .map file using the unstrip command which is also
in the MKS Toolkit.  Send me mail if you have any questions.
