function_profile - get function profiling information for an object
array function_profile( object ob );
Returns function profiling information for 'ob', or this_object() if 'ob'
is not specified. This is only available if the driver was compiled
with PROFILE_FUNCTIONS defined.
An array of mappings is returned, one for each function in 'ob'. The format
of the mapping is:
<pre>
([ "name" : name_of_the_function,
"calls" : number_of_calls,
"self" : cpu_time_spent_in self,
"children" : cpu_time_spent_in_children
])
</pre>
The usefulness of this is tied to the resolution of the CPU clock--even
though the units are microseconds, the CPU timer resolution is often much
less.
