It is in my todo list to launch a debate on a small skin which would
do coverage...

But doing so is far too easy, so the next item says:

"Debate on concurrent skins, so that for example you
could ensure that all the code you have covered does
no error, e.g. if you are able to run with memcheck + the
coverage skin..."

For profiling, have a look at kcachegrind.

All that, including Jeremy's patches (but I don't know if they are
still up-to-date) is referenced here:
