/*

We implement our own profiling scheme so that we can determine things
like which Lisp functions are occupying the most time.  Any standard
OS-provided profiling works on C functions, which is somewhat useless.

The basic idea is simple.  We set a profiling timer using
setitimer (ITIMER_PROF), which generates a SIGPROF every so often.
\(This runs not in real time but rather when the process is executing
or the system is running on behalf of the process.) When the signal
goes off, we see what we're in, and add by 1 the count associated with
that function.

It would be nice to use the Lisp allocation mechanism etc. to keep
track of the profiling information, but we can't because that's not
safe, and trying to make it safe would be much more work than is
worth.
