TAU is good. There's also a Sun Studio Performance Analyzer that, to
my taste,
is a bit more tightly integrated than TAU and seems to be more scalable:
     http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/overview/topics/analyzer_index.html

In fact, Ron, now that you've mentioned it -- I'm going to try the
PerfAn
on 9vx myself ;-) And here's the question for you: how representative
the behavior of 9vx is supposed to be of the regular Plan9 kernel?

Thanks,
Roman.
