One alternative would be to work on the oprofile userland and try
to figure out nicer user interfaces.

e.g. there's a kerneltop for a different perfctr frame work
and something like that could be implemented for oprofile
too. I'm sure there are other ways to improve the user
interface (without necessarily having to write a GUI)

Another pet project of mine that would be interested would
be kernel latency tracing using oprofile (a bit similar to
latencytop, but the oprofile infrastructure scales much better)
