| Thanks, Dale. I can do more with the profile now.

I'm pretty familiar with the gory details of the GemStone profiler, if you want some more help...

| Are you talking about glassdb/Seaside30? Is there some porting work

I was thinking glassdb/Seaside30 since that's where you're doing the current profiling work...
