Now how do you interpret the following Don Allen's sentence: "If 
your application *is* cpu-limited but spends most of its time in 
some library, e.g.,sqlite, or in system-calls, re-writing it in 
C++ will only help in proportion to the time spent in your own 
code, which is small by assumption." ?

The information about the time spent in sqlite or in system-calls 
is trivially obtainable via running a profiler and pretty much 
everyone knows this. What kind of *alternative method* of 
obtaining this information do you imagine Don Allen might have 
used? There's no need to write angry walls of text about the most 
elementary things.
