I don't cross paths with a lot of C or C++ where profiling is a concern. I use gprof for that, but I haven't needed it in a few years. None of the folks I work with reach for C or C++ as a weapon in their quiver. I do cross paths with a fair bit of FORTRAN, but in my experience, generally if someone's writing FORTRAN, they already know the deal with performance. Fun fact: When I interviewed for my job [12 years ago], I interviewed with a guy using SQLite and FLTK in a C++ model. I'd been using SQLite and FLTK for some recent personal projects; in the interview, I solved a bunch of performance problems he'd been having for a couple years. I interviewed on Monday, and started working there two days later.
