Sysprof
Sysprof kernel based performance profiler for Linux
The Sysprof profiler is a statistical profiler based on
hardware performance counters in modern CPUs. Please see
http://sysprof.com
Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly
changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and
its dependencies to build from tarballs.
