Yes - most of the information is stored in the session. You have to do
a get of 'New Profile ...' first, and then post the new profile data.

Hmm .. are your sure, that 4000 Profiles is a good idea? I've never tested
nfsen with that many profiles. Be aware, that the profiler opens a file
and alloctate RAM for each output channel. So your OS should accept at least
this number of open files per process, and have some megs of RAM ... and this
is per input source.
