Note that you should also (in addition to --enable-profiling) pass: --disable-assertions --disable-stdlib-debug --enable-optimization=-O2 (or -Os) to LyX' configure. Then you have a lyx binary that will be slow, but will generate information that can be read by gprof: gprof ./lyx >profile.txt BTW, when you compile a normal LyX, do you use --disable-stdlib-debug? I makes a big difference speed-wise. JMarc
