I&#39;m profiling an ocaml program with gprof on an AMD64 linux machine - does anyone know what to do when the runtime it&#39;s reporting (i.e. bottom of the &quot;cumulative seconds&quot; column) is much much less than the actual runtime (10-20% of it)? Is this normal somehow?<br>
I&#39;ve compiled everything with the right flags as far as I can tell, the program isn&#39;t I/O or swap bound and there is nothing else CPU-intensive running on the machine. The runtime of the program is not much slower with profiling on than otherwise -- certainly not by an order of magnitude. The profile that comes out more or less makes sense (i.e. highly intensive functions appear at the top of the flat profile) except all of the real times reported seem to be scaled down.<br>
