I don't think there is 0 interest. Considering we already merged lsprof,
I would think there is interest in properly working lsprof :).
In fact, I have no installed lsprof, but I found that I couldn't really
understand the output. Maybe with kcachegrind I'll find it super useful,
and I'll make sure to push to get your changes merged.
