Profiling

For C exist sysprof, heaptrack, Valgrind,... Plenty of profiling tools. I'm have done some profiling with sysprof and heaptrack (never used valgrind). Both have interactive user interfaces to drill down on profiling data. I currently prefer heaptrack as it doesn't need special privileges. Last time I used sysprof (which has been a while) it needed admin privileges to run.
