Are there any free utilities out there for helping to profile programs? I'm 
writing some code that needs to minimize CPU utilization, and I'd like to see
what functions (of mine, and of the system's) are taking the most time, so I 
can make some better code choices (using memcpy, for instance, instead of
copying a string a byte at a time in a for loop).

Thanks.
