I have used it and I think it's great!  The commands are somewhat complex but
after using it a few times you learn which ones you normally need to issue.
It will prove to you that programmer intuition about what needs optimizing and
what doesn't is terrible.  I found that I was wasting my time trying to speed
up sections of code that didn't need it, while the sections that did need it
were the last ones I would have looked at.  It really is worthwhile - it often
shows the way to tremendous performance improvements with little effort.
