Thanks for your input. Cf. answer to Dr. Hyatt.

To give you a better idea, here is a short transcript. You see that gprof
doesn't notice that the program takes any time at all.

Cheers,
Sven.


[sven@localhost TestProfile]$ more main.cpp
void f(int depth)
{
  if (! depth){
    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++);
    return;
  }
  f(depth-1);
  f(depth-1);
};

int main()
{
  f(15);
  return 0;
};
[sven@localhost TestProfile]$ make
g++ -g  -pg   -c -o main.o main.cpp
g++ -g  -pg -o main main.o
[sven@localhost TestProfile]$ time ./main

real    0m3.239s
user    0m1.670s
sys     0m0.000s
[sven@localhost TestProfile]$ gprof -b ./main
Flat profile:
