Speaking of which -- for those of you who haven't ever seen or used DTrace, I stumbled across a fantastic little tutorial yesterday which really opened my eyes as to just how useful DTrace can be for developers: http://www.freebsdonline.com/content/view/933/531/ http://www.freebsdonline.com/content/view/933/531/ I also found a well-written quick-start guide for DTrace: http://www.tablespace.net/quicksheet/dtrace-quickstart.html http://www.tablespace.net/quicksheet/dtrace-quickstart.html Remember, DTrace also ships as part of OS X (and Solaris) too, so it's worth learning if you're doing any serious development on those platforms.
