Linux This chapter covers several methods to measure execution time and real-time performance. The methods give different types of granularity, from the program's complete execution time to how long each function in the program takes.

I beg to differ. I (still!) consider gprof to be an extremely useful tool. Not in the least because of it's surprising ease of use: if you thought profiling is hard, think again.

I agree for $45 you'd expect a book to go further than this, but imho not covering gprof would have been a mistake. On the other hand, it seems to have good step-by-step instructions, so I'm sure there's a market for this actually.
