you found gprof already, if your app is single threaded you're ok (there
used to be some limits w/ shlibs too, but that might have been fixed
lately).

another set of things you might look at are teh 'system level profilers'
like oprofile (you need a modern-ish cpu to really take advantage of
nice cpu counters etc) or whatever intel's vtune got re-named to.
