Re: 'gprof squid squid.gmon' only shows the initial configuration functions

Is there an oprofile version for FreeBSD?  I thought it is limited to
Linux.  On FreeBSD I tried pmcstat, but it gives an initialization
error.

My version of Squid is old and customized (so I can't upgrade) and may
not have builtin timers.  Since what version did they appear?

As for gprof - even with the event loop on top, still the rest of the
table might give some idea why the CPU is overloaded.  The problem is
- I see only initial configuration functions:

                                 called/total       parents
index  %time    self descendents  called+self    name           index
                                 called/total       children
                                                    <spontaneous>

System info:

# uname -m -r -s
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p9 amd64

# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Configured with: FreeBSD/amd64 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305


There are 7 fork()s for unlinkd/diskd helpers.  Can these fork()s
affect profiling info?
