I don't think it is as accurate as gprof but it helps quite a lot.

Has anyone given thought to how OCaml programs can be profiled on the Mac?

gprof on the Mac gives only call counts and no timing information.

Using Instruments on native OCaml programs clearly shows only C functions in the OCaml runtime.

I never really managed to profile my ocaml programs properly under OSX.
Actually, gprof just never worked for me (didn't generate any gmon.out file).
I ended up using Shark which is better than nothing.
