Hi Sascha,

Profiler is a tool that monitors all the CPU happenings(time taken, resources used etc..) while a OS activity(like i/o acceess etc..) is being executed and reports them in a detailed user friendly way...

It is generally used in the development stage to improve the efficiency of the code, depending upon the reports generated.

Oh, okay. There is the sparc64 port which needs some love, for instance. :-)

What about something which comes with complete 'layers' of stuff, like AC97 (this software-audio stuff)? 

There is also SATA, I just know of one SATA-controller supported, just because it happen to behave pretty like his grandfather or something (the listarchive has the details)...

What do you mean by 'profile(r)'?

"Argue for your limitations...
        And sure enough, they are yours!"
