So you're already using Manx.  I released a profiler for Manx 3.4
(I believe) that should still work with 3.6, or can be easily modified
for 3.6.  If a few people ask, I may improve the way it works.  But
grab it and look at it, let me know what you need.

Oh, what fish disk is it on?  One second . . . disk 48.  And it is
for 3.30e, but like I said, the changes should be minimal.

Enjoy!
