What might be nice is to use the output of oprofile and
stick it into kcachegrind,
  http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/
to get a GUI to the results.

I haven't done this, but according to
  http://linux.com.hk/penguin/man/1/op2calltree.html
the tool is
`op2calltree` - convert OProfile profiling data to KCachegrind calltree format
and further "This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit."
