Hm, since this is about the startup time of an app bundle, I don't see
how to get the pid in time to start ktrace. Hm, maybe the app should do
something like os.system("ktrace -p %s" % os.getpid())? Would that work?
After reading the man page: yeah, should work, -f <outfile> should come
in handy.

Off to bed now,
