I use dmd with gprof with not-bad results. It's not perfect, but at
least I can get some useful info out of it.

The built-in dmd profiler is unfortunately unusable for me because its
function call counters wrap around far too early (IIRC they use 16-bit
counters or something like that), whereas the test cases I need to
optimize for are the long-running, steady state test cases in which
millions or billions of function calls are made.

Will this ever be improved?
