[Chicken-users] Profiling large programs

[Sven . Hartrumpf]

Hi all.

Compile times of chicken increase considerably when adding -profile.
For example,
17 hours on a recent 2.4GHz processor instead of just some minutes
without -profile.
Furthermore, the resulting C file is 1.3GB so that it cannot be
compiled by gcc. Here is the start of the resulting C file:

/* Generated from nallch.scm by the CHICKEN compiler
   http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org
   2008-07-08 18:46
   Version 3.3.1 - linux-unix-gnu-x86   [ manyargs dload ]
   SVN rev. 10820  compiled 2008-05-14 on ki220 (Linux)
   command line: nallch.scm -debug-level 0 -optimize-level 1 -profile 
-output-file nallch3.c
   used units: library eval data_structures ports extras srfi_69 profiler posix 
srfi_1
*/
...

Does anybody have any hints how to profile a large program?
(Separate compilation is not an option for me, currently.)

Ciao
Sven
