Hi, I have made some fixes and improvements in profile mode and recently posted to my github (user gedare, repo stlprof) for another to try out. I will try to send the shippable patches upstream soon. The profile mode is interesting and useful to me as part of work done for my ph.d. thesis, and I think can benefit from a few more improvements. I do not know that I can spare the effort to "maintain" it, but maybe I can review patches to avoid breaking it...
