Yes, that’s what I’m trying to do.

It gets a bit convoluted since the benchmark attempts to test C code
with Elisp code which adds various superfluous entries in the profile
(e.g. Finotify_valid_p takes third of the time but I doubt it has
anything to do with character class matching).

On top of that, the generated gmon.out doesn’t include call traces which
makes it harder to track what is actually going on.

But hopefully I’ll figure something out.
