You don't need to recompile the source with Rabbit.  You can insert calls
to Rabbit's library if you want to time parts of the program, but you can
just run the program 'rabbit' (which comes from rabbit.c).  By default it
uses sampling to get estimates of all the events your processor can
measure, but if you use the --events option it only measures a small
number (on the Athlon it's 4) of events exactly.
