If I were you, I'd run OProfile only during the heavy-load situation (3
recordings running, when you are browsing the EPG menu.  I'd try something
like this:

opcontrol --reset
sleep 2;opcontrol --start;sleep 20;opcontrol --stop

After that, you have 2 seconds to start browsing the EPG and 20 seconds
to keep browsing.  (Or to start playback and keep watching it.)

After this is done, look at

opreport -l /path/to/vdr | less

Obviously, you should compile vdr with debugging symbols enabled
(CFLAGS and LDFLAGS containing -g).

I'll lose this mail account at the end of this month, and I think I will
unsubscribe from most mailing lists, including this one.  We can continue
this off-list.  You can find my email address at the bottom of my home page,
