I now have a profiler in my working copy of Guile.  I plan to commit
it to the guile-core distribution as soon as I've had time to finish
it.  I want to speed it up a little before.  It records every single
call (not interrupt based) and currently does all of this in Scheme
code.  You can imagine what kind of overhead that gives...

I'm working on replacing some of the inner loop with C code.  It will
still be slow, but probably practical in some cases.

Time frame?  My girlfriend will visit me for a week, so there won't be
any Guile work until the end of the month (next weekend)...
