I seem to remember that Hotshot profiler was able to output it's data in
  Vallgrind format. Calltree could then suck up this data. Calltree (or
KCachegrind) is a visual tool similar to Rational Quantify, which you
could use to visually track down performance issues. See
http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/show.cgi

Caveat: I have not tried this myself.
