If you'd rather use GUI tools to analyze the profile data, you might be
interested in KCachegrind, which is available on Linux and some other
Unix variants (I think you should be able to create the profile data
file on any platform (Win, Mac), but you need to run KCachegrind on Linux).

To see what it looks like and what you'd need to get to run it on
Debian, see
