I think it can include cycles (maybe due to recursive calls?).  I  
find the raw output nearly useless.

If you use my lsprof patch, you can dump the pickled data into a  
file, and then use a processing script to massage it into a useful  
format.  I run a simple little script that generates HTML files  
(which I occasionally reference on this list) -- attached, in case  
you want to play with it.  Someone else posted a script to massage  
the data into a format for kcachegrind, if you use KDE.

Since there was zero interest in the lsprof patch, I'll probably fork  
it off into its own branch parallel to bzr.dev.  I'll post a link  
once I've done that and have network access again.
